A unique bolthole for a glorious solo break or romantic getaway, this quirky pad offers something for everyone. Spacious, colourful and boasting an excellent location, it is a breath of fresh air. Play with your dogs in the enclosed garden, roam through the undiluted countryside and let yourself slip entirely into holiday mode. With room for three dogs and their well-behaved humans, you can make sure no one gets left behind.

Sporting a contemporary, open-plan design, this cottage provides all the ingredients for holiday success. With attractive vaulted ceilings, plenty of light and playful splashes of colour, the space manages to be both cheerful and relaxing. Put your feet up on the sofa and watch TV after a long day exploring. In the winter, underfloor heating adds a luxurious touch and plenty of warmth. During the day, the Velux windows and large patio doors allow plenty of sunshine to flood in, whilst at night you can look up at stars twinkling in clear skies. If you are a bit of a foodie or simply fancy a meal at home, the cute and compact kitchen provides a fridge, freezer, electric oven and hob, and there is even a dishwasher too. Also at this end of the property, a large bathroom has a walk-in shower and WC. At the end of the day, two-legged guests can sink into the comfortable super king-size bed. Outside, there is an enclosed patio, garden with seating, BBQ and a firepit, great for atmospheric evenings.

For coastal jaunts, Saunton is 17.5 miles away and Croyde is 20 miles, both popular spots amongst surfers. A great option for walks with your dogs, you can join the popular Tarka Trail in Barnstaple (10.5 miles) or drive 19 miles to Exmoor National Park.

What a wonderful few days we had in the Old Workshop. The studio is large, very nicely furnished and the underfloor heating is excellent (December and it was super-cosy!).
