Located just 3 miles from the edge of Dartmoor National Park with spectacular views as soon as you step outside, this pretty lodge promises a romantic escape to guests. Cosy and contemporary, this perfectly formed accommodation is the perfect spot to embrace a slower pace of life in a beautiful part of South Devon. Wake up among sumptuous sheets, throw open the French doors and watch the countryside come to life from the terrace.
Whether you’re off on a walk on the footpaths from South Brent (2 miles) or you’re sizzling up a BBQ in the garden, you’ll find your favourite ways to unwind here. The interiors are bright and airy with wonderful pastel colours dotted through the soft furnishings and ideally placed botanical touches. If the weather’s wet you’ll have no trouble cooking up a storm in the kitchen and eating at the dining table, looking out across the rolling hills.
Despite feeling like you’re in the heart of the countryside, you’re only 13 miles from Paignton Beach with its pier and plenty of pubs and restaurants. While you’re on the coast, take a tour around Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves (17 miles) and marvel at these natural wonders. See exotic butterflies and rescued otters at the Buckfast Butterfly and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary (5.5 miles), or visit Totnes Rare Breeds Farm (10 miles). The magical towers of Totnes Castle (6.5 miles) are also well worth a visit.
