Situated on the Bere Peninsula on the beautiful River Tavy, this period property is perfect for a large family or group of friends – plus up to two four-legged members of the pack! Sleeping eight across four spacious and peaceful bedrooms, you’ll soon all be ready to get out and explore the fantastic countryside on both sides of the Devon/Cornwall border. Visit the historic town of Tavistock (9.5 miles) on the edge of Dartmoor National Park for a long stroll followed by a pub lunch. Or, take a hike around Minions (22 miles), the highest village in Cornwall on Bodmin Moor.
The property is located in the pretty village of Bere Ferrers, which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It offers a tasteful blend of old and new, with exposed wooden beams mixed with contemporary furnishings throughout. The wood burner in the lounge beckons you to sink into the plush sofas with the hounds by your feet, relaxing in front of the fire after a long day on the moors. Cook up a storm in the traditional farmhouse kitchen and head out for an al fresco river view meal in the garden, which is enclosed by a low wall, and watch the kids and dogs play.
There are plenty of things to do in the area, whether you have two or four legs. Go for a walk around the grounds of Buckland Abbey (6 miles), which was built by the Cistercians over 700 years ago, before popping for a spot of lunch at the pub just under a mile down the road. Kids will love the Dartmoor Murder Mystery Treasure Trail, which starts in Tavistock (10.5 miles), while the pups will love following them as they solve the clues. For a bit of coast, visit peaceful Downderry Beach (26 miles) that welcomes dogs all year.
