Holiday cottage, Bovey Tracey (3mls NE) - Sleeps 2 (FCH106)

A ground-floor cottage set in a stunning rural location just 3 miles from Bovey Tracey, one of the many characterful market towns found across Dartmoor National Park. The perfect base for a couple seeking to explore South Devon during a romantic getaway, the cottage features an open-plan living area, a small private terrace and access to shared facilities including large gardens and an outdoor kitchen.

The dog-friendly cottage, one of three that make up the main farmhouse, nestles within the grounds of a farm, itself set in a wooded valley on the outskirts of Hennock. Its rooms are beautifully lit by natural light and possess a contemporary, rustic charm thanks to high-quality soft furnishings that have been laid out across hard flooring.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a soothing colour palette and features comfortable sofas, high ceilings and a bay area with seating and garden views. It is only a few steps to a resplendent king-size bedroom with a stunning feature wall and eye-catching stained glass windows. A large bathroom stands nearby.

The private terrace at the front of the cottage comes with seating and enjoys absorbing views. Guests have access to shared facilities including the large gardens, an outdoor kitchen and a games barn with a home cinema, pool, table tennis, darts and more. Onsite pottery and alpaca experiences can be booked directly with the owners.

The forest surrounding the cottage is a haven for wildlife and has paths ripe for exploration. Hennock (within 200 metres) is handy for a swift pint, while the market town of Bovey Tracey (3 miles) is home to an array of shops, cafes and eateries, as well as the dog-friendly Parke Estate. Dartmoor National Park is blessed with endless wooded valleys, moorland and lakes, while bustling villages and market towns including Teignmouth and Shaldon line the South Devon coast (11 miles).
