If you're searching for a peaceful spot in South Devon where you can really relax, then this home is a true gem. It's one of a small number of holiday homes set on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, surrounded by tranquil wooded grounds and rolling hills. Inside you'll find a cosy living space, rustic flagstone floor and squashy sofas that invite you to flop down and chill out in style. The outdoor space is pretty special too, with your very own wood-fired hot tub where you can gaze at the stars, and a patio that's ideal for alfresco dining. And there are some spectacular shared amenities to enjoy too – why not let your worries melt away in the sauna before taking a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. With the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor to explore on foot, by bike or even on horseback, nature lovers will be well catered for. And, whether or not you hit the trails, there are several traditional pubs and gourmet restaurants nearby where you can refuel in South Devon style.
