This quaint property, located just 5 miles from a Dartmoor National Park visitor’s centre, is the perfect holiday spot for families or couples who want to bring their pups along. Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms with lots of space for up to two dogs to snooze, you’ll soon wake up refreshed and ready to explore the breathtaking views from the nearby Hay Tor (6 miles), where the hounds will love sniffing around the pretty moorland. The owners know you might need a pick-me-up on arrival, so enjoy a cream tea – just watch out for puppy-dog eyes looking for crumbs!
The holiday home, which is just 5 miles from historic Ashburton with its dog-friendly pub, is cosy and comfortable with a cottage-style feel. The kitchen/diner features traditional pine cabinets and farmhouse decor, while the lounge is fresh and bright with pretty views over the garden. However, draw the curtains and turn on the fire in the evenings and you’ve got a peaceful haven for you to snuggle in with the canines. Have a tranquil night’s sleep in the downstairs twin bedroom, or wake up among beautiful views from the upstairs bedroom that has soft, warming decoration. In the evenings, sizzle up a BBQ in the enclosed garden while the kids and dogs play.
You’re in an ideal location for discovering coast and country. Visit Ness Cove beach in Shaldon (10.5 miles), where the dogs can unleash it all and chase balls and toys, or take a leisurely walk along the South West Coast Path. The village also has plenty of cafes for you and the pups to enjoy a bite to eat. Historic Bovey Tracey (5.5 miles) is a delight to wander around, while Becky Falls (9 miles) has some magical woodland walks.
