This stylish, contemporary cottage has been lovingly furnished to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Step over the small bridge to your front door and go into the large open-plan room. Kick back on the comfy sofas and armchairs in the lounge area playing games and watching the Smart TV, cook up tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen and share them in the dining area. Get a great night’s rest in the two attractive bedrooms, a king-size room, and a flexible twin or king-size, and enjoy the gorgeous shower room with a large walk-in shower. Soak up the sun in the private, enclosed courtyard, and take Fido for a run in the exercising field opposite. Potter in the woodlands and chill by the pond in the shared grounds, you can also sit in the shared gazebo with a drink. After muddy walks, wash the pups’ paws and your boots in the outside hot water shower and sink.

Lovely cottage in a gorgeous setting. Great little outside area with beautiful views. Our weather was a bit mixed but we still found plenty to keep us busy. Would recommend visiting RHS Rosemoor, Arlington Court, Lynton & Lynmouth and Valley of Rocks.

We had a really lovely week's stay at Dobbin Cottage. Spotlessly clean, amazingly comfortable beds, very peaceful. Situated in the grounds of the main house - beautiful gardens. The large, secure, paddock to the rear of the cottages was absolutely perfect for the dog - much ball throwing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The tea, scones, Read morejam and cream on arrival were hugely appreciated. We would highly recommend. Chichester Arms nearby .....- superb food and excellent service. Hide
