Our self catering cottage and lodges are fabulously cosy and in the heart of glorious Devon countryside. Dogs are welcome. And you can often make a last minute booking when the weather looks good. Come and enjoy Devon's glorious autumns and early springs. If you've nothing planned, escape for a couple of days! Take off for a weekend of misty early mornings followed by crisp sunshine and clear skies. Stride out on Dartmoor, swish through autumn leaves in Devon's wooded combes, or marvel at the unfurling spring.
