Set your dog’s tail wagging with country walks from this enticing retreat set in rolling Devon countryside, 3 miles from Muddiford. Nestled within the grounds of the owner’s home yet enjoying its privacy, this three-bedroom, single-storey property welcomes six guests and one canine pal. With a wood burner for basking beside on cosy nights in and a private garden boasting a lawn and hot tub, this is a holiday home for all seasons and a perfect place to take your pet.
Cross the courtyard to enter the cottage and let your dog bound inside to explore. Spread out into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, where you can open French doors onto the garden on fine spring and summer days to let the outside in. This generous room has a vaulted ceiling and offers ample space for preparing meals for your family, friends and pup, as well as unwinding together in the evening in front of the Smart TV and roaring wood burner. There are two king-size bedrooms, both with Smart TVs, and a twin at this property, plus a delightful family bathroom. The garden looks out over the wider grounds and is the ideal place for the pup to nose about while you bubble in the hot tub.
Explore Victorian gardens, pleasure grounds and wider estate at the National Trust’s Arlington Court, 8 miles away, with your dog by your side. Plan trips into Exmoor National Park too, which begins 1.5 miles away and encompasses a superb selection of footpaths and trails to follow. Newberry Beach, 7 miles from the cottage, is a great place to visit for walks by the sea.
