Two couples and their canine companions can enjoy a first-class stay at this fabulous cottage. Located on the edge of Dartmoor it has en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan living space and pretty courtyard garden. Enjoy walks from the doorstep, master the art of cooking on an Aga or wander a mile into Chagford for a choice of fine eateries.
Follow hedge-lined lanes across the Devon countryside and you’ll find this stunning stone property, part of a skilful barn conversion. Step inside and you’ll find a reverse-level layout that really makes the most of its shared courtyard setting; on the ground floor there’s a convenient cloakroom and two dreamy bedrooms. Choose from a sumptuous super-king-size room with a door to the outside seating area as well as a TV/DVD and en-suite bathroom, or a double with its own en-suite shower room – each is beautifully decorated and private. Up on the first floor together-time is prioritised, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner full of light thanks to a vaulted ceiling and wealth of windows. There’s a pretty dining suite where you can chat as culinary masterpieces are created on the electric Aga, and when it’s time to unwind the lounge area has a choice of sofas and a TV/DVD. Enjoy chilled-out evenings by the wood burner, or sit in the enclosed courtyard garden where there’s a charcoal BBQ for fresh-air dining.
Walkers will love this location – the surrounding country lanes are ideal for a gentle stroll and there are miles of National Park and moorland to explore. Just a mile away the small town of Chagford circles an octagonal Market House known as the Pepperpot; close by are fine granite buildings, independent shops and galleries plus a choice of friendly pubs, tearooms, cafes and a deli to take the hard work out of any self-catering holiday. Just 3 miles from your doorstep dramatic Castle Drogo overlooks the Teign Gorge, a dog-walking haven of over 1,000 acres.
