Description of holiday cottage in Dolton, South West
Dating from the 1700's, Vine Cottage sits in a row of three white-washed thatched cottages. Situated in the centre of Dolton, a short walk (5 mins) from the three village pubs, local shop and family butcher. The cottage retains many original features, including exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and clome oven. There is also a sunny cottage flower garden and patio at the front of the property.
The spacious living room benefits from a comfy leather sofa, and a woodburner-style electric stove in a traditional Inglenook fireplace. The charming dining area has oak table and chairs, the intimate atmosphere encourages romantic evenings in.
The character staircase leads you to a generous size bedroom with a traditionally styled kingsize iron bed. The smaller second bedroom has a double bed and washbasin. Both bedrooms have access to the bathroom which includes an electric shower. At the rear of the property is a small courtyard; here you will find a ladies and a gents bicycle (with helmets) which you are free to use, but at your own risk.
Vine Cottage provides the perfect base for exploring Dartmoor, Exmoor and the dramatic coastline that makes North Devon a must at any time of year.

Directions
For visitors arriving from London airports or Kent coast ferries the M5 (via Bristol) or the A303 are the main routes. In our experience many foreign visitors have stayed one night or more on their way to Devon; however a late arrival can be arranged to allow visitors a break in their journey. We are happy to advise guests on the most appropriate route to make their journey as easy as possible; SatNav systems do not always provide the best route.
