🍂🐾 ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY THIS NOVEMBER – WITH YOUR DOGS! 🔥🍂
Dreaming of crisp autumn walks, country pubs and cosy evenings by the log burner?
Come and discover Buzzards Rise, our welcoming holiday cottage on the Cornwall/Devon border near Gunnislake – the perfect hideaway for couples and solo travellers looking to slow down, recharge and enjoy the beautiful West Country.
❤️ Why choose Buzzards Rise for an autumn escape this November?
🌳 Beautiful walks on your doorstep – explore winding country lanes, peaceful woodlands and the wild, open beauty of Dartmoor. Wrap up warm, pull on your walking boots and enjoy the quieter side of the countryside, with gorgeous autumn colours and fresh country air.
🐕 A proper dog-friendly getaway! Bring up to FOUR dogs and let them enjoy the holiday too. Our large, enclosed garden gives you a lovely space to relax while your four-legged companions stretch their legs and sniff to their hearts’ content.
🔥 Cosy cottage evenings – after a day exploring, come back to warm up beside the log burner, enjoy a good book, do one of the jigsaws, and a glass of something lovely, or wrap up under the stars beside the outdoor fire pit. What's not to love?
🥾 Ideal for couples and solo travellers – whether you're celebrating a special occasion, escaping the daily routine, enjoying some well-deserved me-time or simply exploring with your canine companions, Buzzards Rise is a wonderful base for a peaceful break.
