In the protected countryside of Dartmoor National Park, this cosy cottage sits within 32 acres of farm and woodland. Part of a deluxe farmyard complex of holiday cottages, you’ve got amenities galore on offer in the grounds; a stone circle with fire pit, a heated indoor swimming pool, a games room packed with things for the kids to do, a golf practice area and walks through the woodland trails. If you’re not exploring the hiking trails across the heaths and past tumbling waterfalls, make the thirty-minute drive to the charming market town of Newton Abbot. At the cottage itself, you’ve got a private patio with a picnic table and built-in stone barbecue for lunch outdoors on sunny days. The living room is natural shades of stone and sand, with a wood-burning stove in the corner should the temperature dip in the evening. The kitchen is a delightful place to cook, with exposed stone walls adding a bit of cottagecore charm. What’s more, your host provides some Devonshire delights in the welcome pack, like locally brewed cider, apple juice and the bits you need for a Devon cream tea.

About Exeter
Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green under the steeple of the towering Anglican cathedral, and in December, the courtyard lights up with Christmas market stalls.
