Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Ashburton (4 mls NE), Devon

On the outskirts of the gorgeously scenic Dartmoor National Park sits this graceful and stylish retreat, rich in stunning countryside views, lush greenery and home comforts. Marvel at the rolling hills beyond the master bedroom window with a morning coffee before planning days out. With family attractions, historic towns and wondrous walks peppered within a 10-mile radius, this property combines accessibility with welcoming warmth.

To the left of the hallway on entering the property, guests will find the light and airy lounge infused with nude pink tones that allows light to flourish through the large windows looking out into the garden. The lounge features a TV/DVD, comfortable furnishings and an electric fire. Leading off this area is the open-plan kitchen/dining area, which seats four and provides a spacious, homely space that's ideal for home cooking.

Still on this level of the property is the twin bedroom, shower room with WC and the utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs is the master bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom with WC. Something you might not expect here, the Virtual Jet Centre 6 miles north of the property is a unique day out, offering flying courses and ultra-realistic flight simulations that will have guests enthralled and inspired.

8 miles south is a different experience altogether at Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary – a friendly, kind and caring environment filled with beautiful creatures and staff that really care for the animals. Whilst you're here, make sure you head to Newton Abbot, 4 miles away to explore the abundant pubs, restaurants and shops of this historic town.
