What a fabulous place. So homely and welcoming. The owners had thought of everything. From dog throws and towels to dog treats in a jar. The owners were so friendly and kind and lent us wellies to wear as it was wet and boggy. The cottage was lovely and warm without the need to put the wood burning stove on. The two bathrooms were great and handy TRead morehe grounds were beautiful and even though it was raining most days, we were able to walk around the land and enjoy the views with our dog. Hide

What a fabulous hideaway, James was the perfect host and was available anytime if we needed him and full of local information. Never more than 20mins to reach anyway and the local dairy farm do the most delicious milkshakes in the vending machine. The dogs loved the freedom and we cant wait to come back.

They were supplied by Martin the local farmer and sourced by James. Our dog enjoyed walks around the beautiful grounds. The cottage was well equipped (including dishwasher and washing machine). ThRead moree Dartington Crystal glass blowing factory, Clovelly and the Farmers Arms restaurant are worth a visit. We look forward to returning soon. Hide
