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
