Had a great holiday at Ivy Cottage Shepherds Hut, and really felt like we got away from it all. It was a superb location and so nice to sit outside in the evenings and cook on the barbeque. It is very dog friendly in Devon and dog (Bella, French bulldog) had a lovely time too! Can't recommend highly enough.
