Unwind in a countryside bungalow surrounded by pastureland and nature in South Devon with the coast and Dartmoor National Park within easy reach. This traditional two-bed cottage with increased accessibility is ideal for a small dog-loving family or couple who are seeking a tranquil escape with evenings in the cosy lounge or dining alfresco in the garden.

Access the front door by a ramp and enter the hallway where you can hang up your jacket and make yourself comfortable. Continue into the homely lounge with a plump sofa and two armchairs in front of the TV and sliding glass patio doors. Cook a special meal for your loved ones in the spacious kitchen with wooden cabinets, dual-aspect windows and a dining table with chairs. The family bathroom is suitable for disabled guests and there are also two bedrooms in this property – a twin room and a double with an en-suite. Outside is a garden with furniture.

During your stay near the village of Ogwell (1 mile), the bustling market town of Newton Abbot is just 2 miles away where you can dine out at one of the canine-welcoming restaurants. Head to Dartmoor National Park (5 miles) to discover picturesque viewpoints, miles without stiles routes for those with limited mobility and numerous pretty villages like Ashburton (8.5 miles) and Buckland in the Moor (12 miles). The closest beach is Maidencombe Beach (7 miles) which is canine-welcoming all year and has steps down to it, or Torre Abbey Sands has a ramp and is dog-friendly off-season. Or you could visit the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is 9.5 miles away.

This was our second time at Rydon Ball. We loved it so much we went back. Its such a calming peaceful cottage with great views and very cosy and comfy to stay in. There is a lot to do in the local area, and lots of shops and eateries near by. The renovations to the bathrooms and bedrooms were lovely, and really well done. Thank you

Second time staying in this cottage, very quiet location, lovely view over to the valley to Dartmoor. The improvements have made the cottage all the better. We stayed 23/3 to 30/3/24 Weather was bad but cottage was warm and cosy. Thank you see you in October.

Secluded and peaceful just as we wanted but still well located for loads of amenities and attractions. Lots of places for dog walks. A couple of nice novelties in terms of very fresh fish from owner's fish monger business at the end of the drive and fresh milk from the station near buy; you'll need 50p for a flavour shot! Added to our favourite lisRead moret. Many thanks Hide

This bungalow is a very comfortable place to stay. Very warm and cosy with all mod cons. The beds are comfortable as are the pillows. Kitchen and cooking brilliant. Marvellous extras such as a utility room with washer, dryer and a freezer. I think all of the extra aids such as grips on the wall and the wet room were a big help for my husband. TheRead more lounge and the outside garden have far-reaching views over Dartmoor and is enclosed and therefore dog friendly. This bungalow is a gem for sure, because this location is fantastic it's so easy to get to any place of interest. Thank you, Tracy and Steve. Hide
