Newton Abbot, Devon
Widecombe Swallows is a 1 bedroom dog friendly property in Devon, England
Widecombe Swallows is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
A haven for walkers, Widecombe Swallows is a stunning 15th century converted barn tucked amongst the rugged moorland of Dartmoor National Park. Follow the single-track road to discover a private retreat perfect for a romantic getaway. When dusk settles, light the wood burner to create a mellow atmosphere ideal for preparing a late supper for two before curling up in front of the flickering flames. Accessed via a flight of external stairs, the property offers the ultimate experience of modern open-plan living with rustic original features such as exposed beams and a high ceiling. A wooden staircase leading up to the mezzanine bedroom is a striking focal point, making climbing up the king-size bed a welcome novelty – although take care with reduced head height! Soak your muscles in a well-deserved bubble bath in the downstairs bathroom after a day of adventuring. The private enclosed garden has ample space to stretch the dog’s legs and is also a great spot to enjoy an early morning mug of coffee, listening to birdsong and watching the surroundings come to life in the daylight. There are miles of scenic walks and cycle paths literally on your doorstep, where you can bask in the beauty of Dartmoor, paddle in crystal clear streams, and admire the famous grazing wild ponies. Take a step back in time and discover bronze age stone circles and Neolithic tombs, or explore the deserted medieval village of Hound Tor, 5.5 miles away. Change the pace with a trip to one of many popular seaside towns such as the fishing port of Teignmouth 20 miles away, or Torquay with its pretty harbour and multiple attractions 20.5 miles away.
