Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Chulmleigh (4mls SE), Devon

Revel in the glorious views from this handsome barn conversion, which sleeps four guests and also welcomes three dogs, in the village of Coldridge in Devon. Enjoy the serenity of the River Taw Valley and surrounding countryside, with its opportunities for long walks and access to Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. Relax in the comfort of the beautifully finished property, unwind in the attractive garden to the sound of the river flowing past and take an afternoon to head off into the historic city of Exeter, some 19 miles from the property.

Enter the inviting barn, which has a bright, fresh interior, via the reception hall that leads on to the appealing and stylish kitchen/diner. Prepare hearty meals in here, dine together at the table and pull open the French doors on warm days so you can wander in and out from the garden. Find the lounge with its Smart TV and comfortable seating, also on the ground floor, then make your way up to the first floor where your two beautiful bedrooms are situated.

The family bathroom is also at this level. Relax in the enclosed garden on warm evenings and settle down to a little stargazing as night falls. Venture 12.5 miles to find yourself on the edge of Dartmoor National Park: wander its moorlands, explore the woodlands and enjoy catching sight of its famous roaming ponies.

Visit the beautiful gardens at Castle Drogo 16 miles away and walk through the ancient woodlands of Teign Gorge. Drive just over 24 miles to reach the edge of Exmoor National Park, where you and any canine companions can follow more footpaths and trails through picturesque scenery.
