Nestled in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this charming chocolate-box cottage offers a peaceful retreat amid breathtaking natural beauty. The wood burner and enclosed garden offer a haven of relaxation for four guests after exploring the superb trails and dramatic landscapes of the Devon countryside. Dogs are welcome, no more than two please.

Before entering this historic cottage, pause to admire its thatched roof, stone exterior, and vibrant flower baskets – it''s been featured on many book covers and postcards! The countryside charm continues as you step into the open-plan lounge/diner. The Chesterfield sofas and flicker of the wood burner create the perfect atmosphere for a cosy night in with films and buckets of popcorn. For the cooks of the group, the fully equipped, shaker-style kitchen is perfect for whipping up family feasts before you dine around the four-seater table back in the open-plan living space. The two sumptuous bedrooms – a king-size and a double – are nestled underneath the eaves of the retreat and are a joy to climb into at the end of each busy day. Both bedrooms share use of the stylish family bathroom. Each morning, nurse your piping-hot cup of tea out in the split-level garden, where guests can watch their pups run free or relax in the sunshine on the outdoor seating. Find on-street parking for one car.

Keen walkers will be captivated by the labyrinth of walking routes available from the front door of the property. The Two Moor Way passes the accommodation and provides guests with bracing walks through ancient villages and wild moorland, or enjoy a slower pace along the River Webburn which is also on your doorstep. Widecombe-in-the-Moor is a lovely village and can be discovered just 2.5 miles away for fantastic eateries and shops. Hop in the car, and you can be on the glistening coastline of South Devon, where popular destinations include Teignmouth, Shaldon and Dawlish (20 miles).

We really enjoyed our stay at Splash cottage it was very comfortable, well equipped and our dogs loved their walks in the nearby woodland. The cottage is in an excellent location for exploring the Moors, Tors and local historic villages. We would love to return at some point.

A cute and charming cottage in the middle of Dartmoor ideal for a chilled getaway with access to fabulous walks over the moors right from the front door. The lovely sunny garden is also a great spot for watching and listening to the Birdsong

Our third visit to this property and once again we had a good time. The presentation was very good and the property was well equipped. Ponsworthy is a charming Dartmoor Village with good walks and pubs closeby.

Splash cottage is perfect for a break on the moor. Its well equipped and ideally located. I will miss the sound of the river Webburn at night. My dog and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely be re booking!

We loved staying at Splash Cottage and felt very much at home. In fact, we have already booked to come again in the spring! The cottage was so well equipped that we had everything we needed. It is situated perfectly for walking on the Moor, and one of our favourites was from the back garden up beside the river.

Splash cottage is a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. We spent a week walking and exploring Dartmoor, which the cottage is well located for. The cottage is dog friendly and we welcomed the provision of a dog bed, towel and bowls. The garden was also safe for our Basset Hound but there is a small gap behind the shed, which a smaller dog may bRead moree able to squeeze through. The cottage is well equipped. The downstairs bathroom maybe a challenge at night for some. We can recommend the Rugglestone Inn and the Old Inn in Widdecombe in the moor, we had good meals at both. Ashburton is a lovely town, 5 miles from the cottage, where we did our food shopping. It has numerous pubs restaurants and cafes also. Hide
