My dog Bertie and I had a wonderful time at this fab cottage. The outside space was exceptional and the cottage was cosy and well equipped. The hosts Scott and Ritchie were generous in their welcome, and in their welcome pack, all of which was much appreciated

Dobbin Cottage was comfortable and warm with everything we needed for our week away, it was a home away from home. We loved the outside space round the cottage which was very dog friendly and secure, it was also lovely to be able to wander round the grounds of the farmhouse. The dog field was great with easy access through a gate from our patio, HaRead morervey our Cockapoo loved it and enjoyed running after his ball. Owners Scott & Ritchie were very welcoming and were on hand if we needed anything. Hide

Lovely cottage in a gorgeous setting. Great little outside area with beautiful views. Our weather was a bit mixed but we still found plenty to keep us busy. Would recommend visiting RHS Rosemoor, Arlington Court, Lynton & Lynmouth and Valley of Rocks.

We had a really lovely week's stay at Dobbin Cottage. Spotlessly clean, amazingly comfortable beds, very peaceful. Situated in the grounds of the main house - beautiful gardens. The large, secure, paddock to the rear of the cottages was absolutely perfect for the dog - much ball throwing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The tea, scones, Read morejam and cream on arrival were hugely appreciated. We would highly recommend. Chichester Arms nearby .....- superb food and excellent service. Hide
