Dogs and humans alike are going to love every single minute of their time at this wonderful property, located in a tranquil valley in Dartmoor National Park. The cottage forms part of the main farmhouse which lies in a secluded and private but by no means isolated valley.  Up to four guests and two four-legged friends can enjoy nature at its very best here, with long country walks around the valley on offer right from the front door.  As well as an enclosed courtyard, the addition of an exercise paddock within beautiful shared gardens will ensure Fido is dog-tired by the end of each exciting day.

Upon arrival, a complimentary cream tea can be found in the cosy lounge/dining space. A wood burner adds to the homely feel in this room and logs are provided for your use during your stay. In addition, there’s a fully equipped kitchen which has everything you could need whilst you’re here, along with two bedrooms and a shower room with toilet located on the first floor. Outside you will find a shared utility barn with laundry facilities, and an enclosed patio garden area with seating – the perfect place to sit, chat about the day’s activities and plan your next adventures. The games barn (new for 2019) has bi-fold doors which can be fully opened in good weather and a large wood-burning stove for the cooler evenings

Long country walks around the valley and beyond to Tottiford, Trenchford and Kennick reservoirs are on offer right from the front door.  This property is also perfectly situated to be able to enjoy the stunning countryside of Dartmoor National Park as well as being close to many interesting places and attractions. A traditional 16th century pub serving delicious food is less than a mile from the property and you’ll find a well-stocked shop with all your essentials 3 miles away in nearby village, Christow. Canonteign Falls, England’s highest manmade waterfall, is just 2 miles away and welcomes dogs on a lead. For beach lovers, Dawlish Warren Beach is a 16-mile drive away. 


 

·        2 bedrooms: one double and one twin (2’ 6’’ beds), the twin room can be arranged as a single room instead

·        Bathroom with walk-in shower, WC, basin and heated towel radiator

Primrose Cottage was an absolute delight. Beautifully remote and yet plenty to do on and around the farm. Peaceful which was just what we needed. Incredibly dog-friendly, not just dog-tolerant like some places we have taken our dog. Looking forward to a repeat visit.

A bit too dark and damp for us. Definitely not suitable for 4 adults as the kitchen and lounge are very small and cramped. There is no dishwasher or a coffee machine and not equipped well enough to cook in the cottage. The advertised games room is dark, cold and musty so we didnt use it.

An ideal holiday home for those with teenagers in the party. Games room geared to them.
