  • A pretty self-contained annexe, ideal for two with a private patio area
  • A perfect base for exploring South Devon and Dartmoor National Park
  • Close to the lovely town of Ashburton and halfway between Exeter and Plymouth
Property code: OC-PEBOO

A pretty little secluded annexe with plenty of room for Fido to join the adventure, this holiday home-from-home offers a couple and their canine companion a wonderful base from which to explore Dartmoor National Park and the surrounding Devonshire towns, villages and beaches. Whether you love walking, cycling, horse-riding or simply sitting in cafes to watch the world go by, you’ll find plenty to occupy you during your relaxing holiday here.

Adjoining the owner’s property but with complete privacy assured, this annexe has its own private enclosed patio garden with the added benefit of access through to a grassed area just next door, perfect for Fido to stretch his legs before bed each night. The bright and spacious open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area is filled with natural light thanks to huge patio doors that stretch almost the entire length of the room, offering views that can be enjoyed from comfortable sofas. The double bedroom is a haven of rest and rejuvenation with a soft bed and fresh linen ready for you to sink into at the end of a busy day’s adventures.

The small town of Ashburton, known as the gateway to Dartmoor, is just 3 miles away and home to a fantastic selection of shops, delicatessens, pubs and cafes. Dartmoor itself, with its wild open moorlands and deep river valleys, is a pleasant 9 miles’ drive from the property and is the perfect place to let Fido take the lead on one of many walks to be had here. The Dartington Hall Estate is also a wonderful place to walk with your four-legged friend and is home to 880 acres of forests, rivers and an abundance of wildlife. History lovers will happily take the 20-mile drive to the ancient city of Exeter to visit the cathedral and castle here.

A lovely little property just right for the two of us. It was ideally placed for our holiday so we could visit the surrounding areas by car. You really are away from it all, but extremely close to A38, so do experience some traffic noise. The owner was very friendly and helpful

This is a nice little annex on the outskirts of a pretty hamlet, with good access to main roads. It was ideal for one person, comfortable and quite well equipped.

Although just off the A38, this cottage is quiet and very convenient for visiting the surrounding area. The bed is very comfortable and the property was very clean and well maintained. The garden area is a pretty bonus.

The owner is friendly and helpful. Well presented, tidy and clean property. Wet room shower is good for those who like them. Location in general is excellent for access to Dartmoor and the South Hams. In particular we found the lack of any distant view from the living room rather limiting, and the proximity of huge, derelict glasshouses is not veryRead more cheerful. We were not disturbed by the proximity of the A38. Hide
