Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Tiverton (6mls SW), Devon

Set in a pretty countryside location with beautiful views all around, this property promises a relaxing escape to guests. Spacious and bright, this charming cottage is an opportunity to unwind with friends or family in this quiet little village just 12.5 miles from Exeter. Wake up among soft, soothing decor, head to the patio and watch the morning unfold over the hills with an al fresco breakfast.

Whether you’re off exploring the grounds to find the additional seating area and unfenced pond or you’re curled up on the sofa with a good book, there’s something for everyone here. The open-plan living space is bright and airy with a cool and contemporary feel; the large French doors that open out onto the patio flood the space with light. Indulge yourself with a sumptuous bath in the king-size bedroom’s en-suite, soaking in style among wonderful natural-coloured tiles before slipping between the sheets for a tranquil night’s sleep.
