Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Yelverton, Devon

Pamper your loved one with a stay at this gorgeous apartment set within a former threshing barn in beautiful Devon. Sleeping just two guests, the exquisite, one-bedroom holiday haven at Yelverton, 5 miles from Tavistock, makes an exceptional romantic retreat for couples eager to get away from it all. Dating back to the 17th century, the characterful, ground-floor bolthole, which still presents features like exposed beams and stonework, is the perfect place to unwind together after days spent exploring picturesque Dartmoor National Park and the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Step into this enchanting apartment and make yourselves at home. Discover cosy, open-plan living, with a lounge/kitchen/diner where you can spend quality time together before and after each adventure. Snuggle up on the sofa in front of a DVD or your favourite programme on TV.

Whip up tasty meals in the kitchen area with the delicious Devon produce you have bought in Yelverton then open a bottle of wine and set the table for a candle-lit meal together. When you are ready to turn in for the night, head through to the inviting bedroom, which has zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as a super-king-size or twins by prior arrangement. There is also an en-suite shower room for long soaks under the rainfall head after your exhilarating hikes.

Lace up your walking boots and head off on scenic walks right from the doorstep. Venture 3 miles to the Burrator Reservoir, where there is a 4.5-mile circular trail along the water’s edge. Head into Tavistock, which has world heritage status, to browse in the market, potter in the shops and stop for a Devon cream tea in an inviting cafe or tearoom.

Drive 16 miles down to the coast to swim from the sheltered beach at Bovisand.
