Lewtrenchard Manor

If you can tear yourself away from the stunning country house hotel, there's so much to see and do right from the hotel doorstep. The craggy tors and wide-open spaces of Dartmoor National Park is almost within walking distance. You also have the captivating coastlines of both north and south Devon, and Cornwall can be reached in under an hour too.

During your dog-friendly holiday, make sure to visit top attractions like The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and Lydford Gorge – a National Trust property with an enchanting riverside walk to the 90ft White Lady waterfall! For history buffs, Tintagel Castle is close by, here you can explore the romantic ruins as the waves crash around you. The bustling coastal town of Padstow is well worth a visit, especially for its beaches and famous food scene. The pretty harbour of Port Isaac, one of Cornwall's famous fishing villages, is also a wonderful step back in time full of narrow streets with whitewashed cottages.
