This cosy white cottage is set in the beautiful village of Lustleigh, named one of the prettiest UK villages by The Telegraph in 2019. Wander through the intimate interior and onto the quaint streets and it's a postcard picture image at every turn. The restful haven has a warm energy that makes it a dreamy spot all year round. In the spring and summer, the sun shines on the cottaged houses and Lustleigh radiates in a jubilant mood. Come the colder months, the snug living room, with a log burner, is a quiet spot to curl up with a book or film. If the weather allows, you're expertly placed to explore the natural beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Bring snacks and plenty of water before you embark on a journey across the scenic walking trails. It's an idyllic location for picnics underneath the summer sun. If the weather isn't on your side, settle into the comfort of your home. The deluxe bathtub is tailor-made for those wet, winter nights when you want to escape to your tranquil refuge.
