This magical hideaway in the Teign Valley is the stuff dreams are made of. It's a cosy spot where you can get toasty in front of the woodburner on chilly evenings – your hosts will provide the logs. The outdoor space is also fabulous, with your very own hot tub where you can soak under the stars, a pretty patio for long alfresco lunches and wooded grounds to ramble through. You also have access to some brilliant shared amenities – how about a swim in the indoor pool, followed by a session in the sauna for a truly relaxing experience? If you're craving a little more adrenaline, then Dartmoor National Park is on your doorstep, where you can hike, cycle or pony trek through the dramatic landscapes. But if your favourite kind of adventure is the culinary kind, then there are plenty of traditional pubs and restaurants to try in this wonderful corner of Devon.

Nice to haves

One glance at this thatched arts and crafts style cottage and you'll feel like you've stumbled into a fairytale. But instead of a faraway kingdom, you'll find this cosy homestead nestled in a quiet corner at the edge of Dartmoor National Park. It's the perfect place to escape to the country – one glance at those striking views over the Teign Valley from the private garden and you'll never want to return to the bustle of city life (we sure didn't). Inside, the magic continues, with an inviting sitting room perfect for family time and a country-style kitchen that has everything you'll need to rustle up a meal. We loved the welcome hamper – host Charles leaves bread, jam, local milk and even fresh flowers to make you feel right at home – and the delightful touches like board games and DVDs provide plenty of entertainment. Enjoy a family game night in front of the fire, curl up with a book in the cushy armchair or spend a chilled evening snuggled up with your favourite films. During the day, don your walking shoes and hit the nearby trails, then, following an afternoon of rambling, reward yourself with a well-earned pint at one of the local pubs. Or, if you'd prefer a bit more liveliness, Exeter is only a twenty-minute drive away.

With the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor to explore on foot, by bike or even on horseback, nature lovers will be well catered for.

Find yourself immersed in the wild, untouched beauty of Dartmoor National Park with a stay at this lavish home. Perched up high on a hillside and overlooking a velvety valley, it flaunts four acres of private grounds with breathtaking views to boot.

Every detail beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. From the elegant sleeping quarters, with their sumptuous linens and lie-in worthy views, to the tranquil garden, where an annexe offers a peaceful spot for morning yoga flows. With a sitting room, drawing room and fully-equipped kitchen diner, the open-plan living areas are primed for entertaining and offer plenty of scope for families to socialise and enjoy private moments of calm. We especially love the kitchen-diner, with its hand-crafted oak dining table, a piano for impromptu singalongs and bi-folding French doors that open up to the terrace. Overlooking lush foliage, this is the perfect place to enjoy a cream tea in the sunshine.

If you can bear to leave this lavish abode, you're in a prime location for an adventure. Hike through miles of undulating moorlands and granite-topped tors or stroll through picturesque villages and explore the local culture. You're a twenty-five-minute drive from the historic market town of Newton Abbot and just a twelve-minute stroll from the pretty village of Lustleigh. After busy days, fire up the pizza oven and barbecue for an alfresco feast at sunset before snuggling up on the velvet sofas beside the warm glow of the wood-burning stove.

There's a more is more opulence about this postcard-pretty period cottage tucked away in the picturesque Kenn valley, near Exeter. 

Rustic beams, leather-clad storybook armchairs, and freshly cut flowers bring all the cottage feels you're chasing. While carefully currated antiques, hand-painted wallpapers, and oil paintings dials up the luxury.

Upstairs, you'll find three elegant bedrooms as beautiful as the next, with beautifully carved wooden headboards, swathes of quality textiles, and antique furniture sent from another glorious time. And don't get us going on that enclosed patio back downstairs with a delightful seating area prime for alfresco lunches and a hot tub in a private nook with twinkling lights. 

When thoughts turn to food and a glass of something crisp, lay the table for lavish suppers in the dining area or keep things casual, propped up at the kitchen's island. But if you don't fancy cooking, you'll be pleased to hear the village's 13th-century pub, to which this cottage belongs, is within stumbling distance. If this home is anything to go by, you'll be in for a treat.

A collection of character homes, rented together, and set on an historic Devonshire farm – this place is a dream come true. At its heart there's the manor house. An imposing place, built from local stone some 200 years ago, it's set over three floors and is the star of the show. On arrival here you can bag yourself one of the plush, en-suite bedrooms, before gathering for drinks in the formal entertaining space downstairs (there's a dining table with places for eighteen). Elsewhere, the barns have been converted, creating six one-bed cottages and suites around a shared courtyard. If you're planning a big celebration, you can also rent the enormous glass-roofed barn nearby, with its event kitchen. Around the estate you'll find all the things you'd hope for in a farm. Meet the farm animals, explore the pond and even – if the good old British weather is on your side – grab your towel for a swim in the outdoor pool.

Pond View

A modern take on the Devon holiday cottage, Green Finger Lodge is surrounded by the picturesque woodlands of the Teign Valley.

Whether you're after a moment of peace or want to get the group together for an alfresco meal, the long wraparound terrace is a perfect setting to relax with a drink and admire the views and spot some wildlife. There’s also a badminton set (as sell as a games room for when the weather isn’t cooperating).

It would suit a family of five or six, and being on a single level it's practical for those travelling with toddlers, grandparents or even furry friends, so bring them all!

Green Finger Lodge

All cosied up on a quiet country lane just a short amble from the quaint village centre, this wonderful little cottage welcomes all to sample British country life in all its glory. 

With its wonderful white–washed facade, aged windows and brown front door with shrubs to either side, from the outside, this home is a picture–perfect haven steeped in rural charm. A backdrop of sprawling, perfectly–manicured lawns and verdant trees make the setting all the more picturesque, meanwhile the lovely little garden area serves up the ideal spot to privately soak up the sparkling Devonshire rays.

The outside of this home is enough to tug on our heartstrings, but as we meander our way from room to room, we can't help but become more enamoured with the place. Cute and cosy with a winning mixture of classic and contemporary touches, we love the fact that in spite of some of its more modern updates, the home has retained all of its classic charm. The natural wooden doors instantly add to that warm, welcoming appeal, meanwhile the addition of skylight windows invite the sunlight to stream its way inside.

Each and every nook and cranny tells its own unique story, but if you ask us, the real heart of this home is the living area. With a traditional log burner at its centre and leather sofa just waiting to be sunk into, we can already see ourselves curling up here as dusk settles with a large glass of red and some rich chocolate truffles – heaven!

Draw the Dreamers

Sitting on the banks of the River Teign estuary, Shaldon is a town with a rich history of relaxation. A popular bathing spot, its coastal location is a wonderful place to replenish your mind and body, and its annual regatta is another reason to stick around. This cute cottage is set just one mile from Ness Cove Beach, but you've also got the river on your doorstep – water, water is truly everywhere. 

Authentic and original, this home is every bit the coastal abode you’d expect from Devon. We love the white painted exterior, shuttered windows, and a patio out front complete with a colourful parasol. While you might be spending a fair bit of time out here with your morning coffee, or evening tipple, you’ll also love the delights of the interiors.

The living space feels homely and inviting from the offset. Creams and beiges are reminiscent of the sands on the shore, while chunky timber beams and supports bring a rustic warmth to the lounge. You’ll love cuddling up on the plump sofas by the fire with a cuppa, just as much as you’ll love eating fresh local fish for dinner on the dining table. Surfing can wait until tomorrow morning.

This is a barn conversion in which the standard of the renovation has been of such quality that it's nigh-on impossible to picture its functional past. Set in twenty-six acres of Devon countryside, the building has been given some hi-tech features, including a ground-source heating system and an intelligent lighting system, as well as a lot of large glass windows that make the space a lot brighter than could be expected of an old barn. Our favourite space has to be the mezzanine lounge, reached via a glass spiral staircase and with a skylight on one side that's perfect for stargazing. The large kitchen looks the picture of modernity, but there's an Aga in place for a touch of rusticness. Stepping outside, there's a large patio area complete with an alfresco dining table, barbecue and fire pit, so you can sit out here on summer evenings and bask in the spectacular view of Longcombe Valley. The medieval town of Totnes can be reached in seven minutes in the car and offers plenty of quaint shops and restaurants to explore. Paignton Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.
