Set on 32 acres of unspoilt nature, this idyllic cottage is located in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. While modern designs and entertainment features invite guests to relax and unwind in comfort, breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes are bound to cleanse the soul and rid guests of any stresses brought by life's daily grind. Stop to ponder the natural beauty that faces you in every direction, as when staying here; you'll never be short of things to see and do. Start with the two ancient farm ponds filled with wildlife; we could spend hours taking in the dreamy greenery. Visit the on-site chickens and collect fresh eggs for breakfast – the outdoor picnic bench on the private patio offers a tranquil spot amidst the fresh country air to enjoy a full English fry-up. You'll also find a built-in brick barbecue where cooking up a feast comes with a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. On chilly evenings you can gather around the fire pit to keep warm. Beyond your cosy cottage, you'll have shared access to a fabulous games room equipped with toys for the children, a pool table, jukebox, air hockey, table football, books and a TV and film selection. Outside, there's a golf practice area as well as a children's playground – making this spot utterly perfect for those holidaying with children. The cherry on the cake? The property has recently refurbished an indoor heated swimming pool for guests to use at their own free leisure. And with so many scenic walking routes within the Dartmoor National Park on the agenda alongside the likes of Bovey Tracey and Newton Abbot reachable in under thirty minutes – you'll get to enjoy everything that the Devon countryside has to offer with simple ease and convenience.
