Property code: OC-BBELL

The wild open spaces of Dartmoor await when you choose a stay at this cosy ground-floor apartment, situated within forestland on the north-eastern edge of this beautiful national park. Play fetch to your heart’s content, or for a change of scene head down to the glorious beaches of the Devonshire coastline just 9 miles away. After a busy day, settle in the shared garden with a cooling drink before letting your pup run around freely in the neighbouring paddock. 

Spend your days out and about exploring the local area, knowing that you and your four-legged friend have somewhere welcoming and cosy to return to at the end of each day. The open plan living area is kept lovely and warm by a wood burner effect electric fire; a favourite spot for both human guests and their canine companions. The king-size bedroom offers an en-suite shower room and is a comfortable place to unwind at the end of an activity-filled day of walks and exploring. Stepping outside, you will discover a shared seating area for al fresco dining, as well as a shared games barn and exercise paddock, beyond which there is direct access to footpaths leading through the surrounding forest.

There can be few places better suited to enjoying a holiday with your canine pal, and it is up to you to make your break as relaxing or action-packed as you feel. Take gentle walks in the surrounding countryside, or along the coast at nearby Dawlish (11 miles) and Teignmouth (9 miles), or perhaps choose a more rugged adventure in the picturesque surroundings of Dartmoor, heading up towards Canonteign Falls, an extraordinary manmade waterfall and Victorian Folly just 2.5 miles from the property.

Pleasant little find for a week in Devon. Ticked all the boxes. Footfall upstairs was a bit noticeable sometimes.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely rural location. Be aware that the access lanes are very narrow but you soon get used to them. Our cottage was very pretty and well equipped. The only thing was we didnt realise that ours didnt have a log burner which would have been useful in the recent cold snap.

A tiny basement flat on the bottom corner of the main farmhouse where the owners live, we did hear them moving around above on occasions. There's little natural light to the property with windows on only two sides (sitting room and bedroom). Kitchen is fairly well stocked with cooking kit but the worktop space is tiny so simple meals only. There's Read morea well sized fridge with a small icebox at the top.

The cottage itself was fine for the two of us and the dog, and the cottage amenities were fine. The supply of DVDs kept us well occupied in the evening. The shower was lovely. Please note that the route to the pub is not for the faint-hearted as it goes up (steeply) through some woods. The narrow roads are also not suitable for foot traffic.

Comfy cottage in a cool shaded valley. Kitchen not easy to cook in but there is a pub in the village. Lovely cream tea on arrival. Games room is a bonus. Lots to do in the area but the narrow lanes are a nightmare.

A beautiful cottage in a magical setting for a tranquil holiday. Plenty to enjoy on site if the weather is good. The barn provides a cinema screen, games, piano and other instruments, table tennis and table football if the weather is poor. The cottage is small but perfectly formed.
