Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 12 - Lydford, Devon

Perfectly placed to explore the whole of Dartmoor National Park, this attractive six-bedroom farmhouse enjoys a peaceful location close to the charming town of Lydford. This is a property designed with relaxation in mind, whether soaking in the hot tub after a long walk or curling up in front of the wood burner at the end of the day. The spectacular Lydford Gorge is on the doorstep and The Granite Way cycle path starts in the village for traffic-free rides across Dartmoor.

The stunning White Lady Falls (0.5 miles) is not to be missed and provides a beautiful backdrop for a family photo. Step through the front door into the spacious entrance hall. The superb kitchen is a keen cook's dream and is equipped to cater for large parties with both an AGA and double electric oven and hob.

Gather around the large table in the formal dining room and linger over supper late into the evening. After a long day of outdoor activities, light the wood burner in the main lounge and sink into one of the inviting sofas for a cosy evening of conversation. There's a second lounge with another wood burner where you can watch a family film on the TV.

The first of the comfortable bedrooms is on this floor, a bright and airy twin bedroom with en-suite shower. Heading upstairs, you will find five bedrooms leading off from the galleried landing with reading nook. All the bedrooms are well-appointed with luxurious linens and stylish soft furnishings.

There are two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, and three twin bedrooms, one of which boasts a daybed that can accommodate an additional guest. A generous family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, the property is surrounded by large gardens, including a lawn with a croquet area, patio area with fire pit and BBQ grill.

Enjoy a soak under the stars in the private hot tub. There is ample parking.
