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.

Bluebells cottage is in a lovely, secluded, wooded valley, though that does mean quite narrow Devon lanes to navigate for a few miles in or out by car.

We booked Bluebell Cottage for a 1 week stay and whilst advertised as a 2person property, there is actually a double sofabed in the living room, as well as the king-size bedroom.

Lovely dog friendly cottage. Had pretty much everything we needed. Owners very friendly and welcoming. Great fenced dog paddock and dog walks in the woods in the grounds. Useful to note however that there is no fenced garden directly outside the cottage so you cant just let dogs out of the door in the morning or last thing at night.
