For a memorable Devon holiday with friends or family, stay at this charming two-bed cottage just 5 miles from the edge of Dartmoor National Park. You''ll have endless walking trails on the 24-acre site as well as glorious wild swimming opportunities. Head to the dramatic Lydford Gorge (6 miles) or enjoy iconic moorland views on the trek to Nine Stones Circle or Black-a-Tor (all within 10 miles) - wonderful if you''ve brought dogs with you (up to three are welcome).
This welcoming home contains original features such as thick wooden beams throughout, which are tastefully complemented with wooden additions such as a staircase and furniture. The open-plan living area serves as a central hub for unwinding with fellow guests, whether you''re reading on the sofa or watching something on the Smart TV. Cook up a storm in the quaint kitchen and gather around the farmhouse-style dining table for shared meals. You''ll have one double bedroom on the ground floor, with a private en-suite wet room. Head up the wooden staircase to find a second bedroom with a double bed and a single. The first floor also has a bathroom with a bath for indulgent holiday soaks. In good weather, make the most of the private patio area where you can dine and enjoy evening beers in the fresh air. The wider grounds contain a beautiful wildflower meadow that''s a dream in the spring and summer, along with a fishing lake stocked with carp, bream, tench and perch. There''s a waterside BBQ hut that''s shared by all guests on the site, and a veranda with scenic views by one of the other lakes. A private parking area with room for up to two cars is available.
The market town of Okehampton (7 miles) is where you''ll find the nearest pubs and cafés, along with tea rooms and independent shops for picking up souvenirs and fresh produce. Tavistock and Launceston, both around 15 miles away, are also worth the trip. For a day at the beach, Bude, on Cornwall''s north coast of Cornwall, is only 23.5 miles away - wonderful for exploring sandy shores and surf shops.
