North Beer Lodge, Launceston, Cornwall
- Sleeps: 4
- Pets: Yes (unlimited)
Between Dartmoor’s wild tors and Bude’s sandy sweep, this handcrafted cedar hideaway nails the cosy–lux brief. Think vaulted ceilings, a crackling wood-burner, underfloor heating and floor-to-ceiling doors that spill onto an enclosed garden with wide-open countryside views.
The boot room is a godsend after muddy moors or coastal path trots, and both bedrooms are king-size with calming, eco-minded touches for an ultra-restful sleep. The clincher for dog people: outdoor spaces are fully fenced and, brilliantly, dogs are welcomed in unlimited numbers. Young children less so – there’s a minimum age of 8 years (though babies in moses baskets are permitted). Come for the peace, stay for the starry nights.

Stable Cottage, Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire
- Sleeps: 2
- Pets: 2
A peaceful first–floor hideaway on a working stud farm, with the Shropshire Hills AONB spilling out in every direction.

Inside, it’s cosy and well–equipped. Outside, a fully enclosed garden keeps curious pups safe, and the wood-fired hot tub is sublime after Carding Mill Valley or a Church Stretton ridge walk. Thoughtful owners are on hand if needed, and there’s even a Mud Daddy dog washer for those mucky-paw moments.
Spicery Barn Loft, Exeter, Devon
- Sleeps: 2
- Pets: 1
A snug countryside bolthole with proper peace and Dartmoor on the doorstep. Spicery Barn Loft sits in rural Tedburn St Mary – a hop from moorland trails, river rambles and castle-hopping day trips. Inside, it’s all spotless and spoiling: a well-equipped kitchen for lazy brunches, a cosy lounge for film nights, and a calm double with en-suite.
Outside, the enclosed garden keeps curious noses safe while you toast the sunset – friendly goats often say hello over the fence. Thoughtful touches are a recurring theme from guests, and Exeter’s cafés are an easy dash if the weather turns.

Stroll to Felton for riverside rambles and a pub lunch, then go bigger: dune-backed beaches at Amble and Warkworth, wildlife at Hauxley, or big-sky hikes in Northumberland National Park. Evenings are for board games, something warming in a mug and the gentle hoot of owls for company.
