If you were looking for cottages like Catford Cottage, how about trying these:

Tucked away in rural, unspoilt Exmoor, you will find Catford Cottage, a sweet bolthole just perfect for a couple and their four-legged friend looking to escape to the countryside. Accessed down a set of stone steps, this traditional, character cottage is totally charming and has been lovingly refurbished to provide everything you could need for your holiday.

Downstairs the open plan living space is sociable and offers a cosy spot where you can curl up in front of the wood-burner, or enjoy holiday meals together. There is also a handy porch which is ideal for leaving wellies and coats in. After a busy day exploring, head upstairs to the excellently sized bedroom with luxurious super-king 'zip and link' bed. There is nothing to disturb you in this peaceful location so a good night's sleep is sure to be on the cards.

The tranquil setting is evident outside where you have a private patio which is a great spot for firing up the barbecue. Head up a few steps and you will be in the enclosed garden which your dog is sure to love exploring. A perfectly positioned bench is in place for you to sit and watch the sunsets. The owners live in the neighbouring property so are close on hand should you need them, however you are assured of your privacy.

No matter the time of year, Exmoor is a magical place to spend your holiday as it boasts dramatic coastal cliffs and rolling heather and gorse covered hills and coombes. Watch new life emerge in spring, enjoy picnics on summer days, marvel at the gorgeous colours in autumn and crunch across frosty moorland in the winter. Take a scenic walk and if you're lucky you'll be able to spot a herd of red deer, or perhaps some Exmoor ponies and their foals, whilst buzzards mew and soar overhead. You will truly feel as though you have stepped into another world and can totally escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
