This beguiling cottage is the epitome of comfortable country style. Perched on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, it’s perfectly positioned for couples or families to relax and recharge in Devon’s gorgeous countryside. Make your escape to this enchanting holiday retreat and unwind in a beautiful part of Devon.

Natural tones and textures complement traditional features such as planked doors, original beams and exposed stonework in this delightful property. From the parking space take four steps up to the back door, which leads into the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, a sociable room for relaxed cooking and enjoying meals together. After supper, gather around the wood burner and Smart TV in the comfortable lounge, which is down the stairs from the kitchen. Up three steps from the lounge, you’ll find one of the king-size bedrooms, an enchanting space with a pretty bed and armchairs gathered around its own wood burner – a very special nook in which to switch off from everyday stresses. The second king-size bedroom, with its gorgeous antique furnishings, is found two steps up from the kitchen, along with the shared shower room. For an al fresco meal or drink head to the lovely lawned garden, accessed via steps down from the door in the lounge, where dining furniture is all set up for you to enjoy the sunshine.

The cottage is 3.5 miles from the friendly small town of Chagford, with its fabulous range of independent shops and art galleries, pubs, places to eat and even an open-air swimming pool. Walks in the beautiful and fascinating landscape of Dartmoor include stone rows and circles, clapper bridges and ancient dwellings – don’t miss the beauty spot at Fingle Bridge, 6.5 miles – while cyclists can access the Dartmoor Way Cycle Route only 100 metres away. Also nearby are Finch Foundry and Stone Lane Gardens, both 3.5 miles, Castle Drogo 5.5 miles away, or Moretonhampstead Motor Museum, 8 miles.
