Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 8 - Honiton (6mls NW), Devon

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Blackdown Hills, lies this delightful stone barn, full of charming character and retaining original features. Surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the location of this property is a haven for those who love nature and the great outdoors. Not forgetting your canine family members who are just as important when holidaying here, as they have their own enclosed doggy paddock on-site where they can run carefree and easy.

The accommodation caters for eight guests sleeping in four bedrooms that are arranged over two floors. With the luxury of your own private hot tub, what better way to end your day than to soak away any aches and pains under the stars, planning your next day of hiking adventures? Entering the property through French doors, you are greeted by a bright and spacious open-plan living area where exposed stone walls and wooden beams add to the rustic ambience of this country retreat.

The lovely addition of a roaring wood burner makes this a warm and cosy space for socialising in with friends and family. The well-equipped cottage-style kitchen is perfect for rustling up a hearty family breakfast before venturing out for the day. Also on the ground floor is a pretty twin bedroom and a downstairs shower room.

Heading upstairs, you will find two king-size bedrooms and one twin bedroom, all benefiting from large Velux windows and enjoying glorious countryside views. The family bathroom with hand-held shower over the bath completes the accommodation on the first floor. Outside, the property has an enclosed patio area with private hot tub where you can sit and entertain friends and dine alfresco.

Access to a shared games room with table football, table tennis and pool football is ideal on those rainy days. A shared utility room is also on-site.
