Bursting with charm and character, this picturesque cottage is the ultimate romantic retreat for couples who love nothing better than walking, cycling and hiking. The village of Shaugh Prior offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in Dartmoor National Park, there are countless scenic tracks and trails to be explored, including Drake’s Trail, just under 2 miles away. Keen hikers will not be disappointed with the 3.5-mile circular route of Dewerstone, just under a mile away; the craggy rock face is popular with climbers and is set within enchanting woodland with the River Plym beneath. Those looking to answer the call of the coast can enjoy the sheltered bay of Bovisand Beach, 12 miles away. Looking for a spot of pampering or a round of golf? Head to Elfordleigh Hotel with its golf course and spa (3 miles), or Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall (4 miles).
Step into this welcoming cottage and leave your muddy boots and coats in the handy porch area. At the heart of this home-from-home, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfectly combines authentic country cottage charm with extra special homely touches that set the scene for pure relaxation. The roaring electric-flame-effect fire maximises the serene ambience, whilst the bespoke contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen perfectly echoes the rich rural heritage of your surrounding scenery, capturing your imagination and beckoning you to unwind and dine with loved ones. Upstairs, the soothing neutral colour palette and crisp, white linens of the super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as twins on request) create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere to retire to. The stylish bathroom provides everything you need to begin a day’s adventure feeling refreshed.
Make the most of your truly peaceful surroundings by enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled at sundown on the quaint patio area. Lose yourself in the soothing sounds of the resident farm horses before staying up past bedtime to star gaze in the dark Devon skies. Outside, you’ll find private parking for 1 car.
