Your Romantic Escape Awaits
What better place for a getaway for just the two of you than at one of our romantic holiday cottages in Devon? Set in 24 acres of countryside on the edge of Dartmoor near Bovey Tracey, our cosy cottages sleep two, and some even have their own private hot tub, giving you a chance to unwind.
Whether you want to stay put and relax or head out to explore, there’s so much to do during your romantic break in Devon, including in-cottage treatments, places to visit nearby, and options if you’re bringing your dog.
Unwind in Your Own Private Hot Tub
A selection of our cottages for two features a private hot tub. After a long day of exploring Dartmoor or along the coast, you can relax outdoors without leaving your accommodation.
- Maple has a king-size bed and a private outdoor hot tub.
- Willow also has a king-size bed and its own hot tub.
- Hazel has a king-size bedroom and an open-plan kitchen and dining area, along with a private hot tub.
- Holly is our fourth hot tub holiday cottage for two.
Every one of our holiday cottages has a well-equipped kitchen for cooking dinner for two, and a TV with Freeview. Our hot tub holidays are available all year round, so these cottages work just as well for a winter break as a summer one.
Book a Treatment for Two in the Comfort of Your Cottage
For a touch of luxury, you can add treatments to your stay, delivered in the privacy of your own cottage. You can choose from:
- Massage, including Swedish, deep tissue and Indian head massage
- Reiki
- Hot stone therapy
- Facials, manicures and pedicures
All of the above can be added as optional extras when you book your romantic holiday on our website. Whether you’re visiting for an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, or just because, you’ll have the chance to genuinely relax and let all your stresses drift away.
Romantic Places to Visit Near Our Holiday Cottages
Our idyllic location puts us between Dartmoor and the South Devon coast, so you can choose between open moorland and sandy beaches on the same break.
Dartmoor National Park
Dartmoor National Park is right on our doorstep. Haytor is one of its best-known granite tors, with expansive views across the moor and even towards the coast on a clear day. Becky Falls, a woodland waterfall, is also nearby. Both make a great setting for a romantic walk together, followed by lunch at a country pub, and are just a 15-minute drive away.
Bovey Tracey
Bovey Tracey, known as the Gateway to the Moor, is our nearest town. It has independent shops, cafes and places to eat, so it is an easy option for a relaxing morning or an evening meal out.
Shaldon, Torquay, Paignton and Goodrington
The beaches at Torquay, Paignton and Goodrington are all within easy reach for a day by the sea. You can walk along the seafront, stop for fish and chips, and be back at your cottage in time for a romantic evening in with just the two of you.
The Smuggler’s Tunnel in Shaldon is also well worth a visit, where you can walk through the cliffs onto Ness Cove Beach.

Romantic Things to Do for Couples
If you want ideas beyond sightseeing, these are easy to fit around your romantic break:
- Dinner at a country pub: There are several welcoming pubs close to our cottages, a short drive or taxi away.
- A sunset walk on the moor: Dartmoor’s high grounds allow you to experience open views at the end of the day. Don’t forget to take a torch and check sunset times before you go.
- Stargazing: Away from town lights, the skies over the countryside are darker than in most cities. A clear night in the hot tub or on your patio is a simple way to make the most of it. The Tiny House also has a fire pit to keep you warm at night.
- A day on the coast: Combine a beach walk with lunch by the sea, then head back inland for a quiet evening.
- A night in: Snuggle on the sofa, cook dinner for two and settle in with a film.
Things to Do Without Leaving Little Dunley Cottages
Some couples prefer to stay on site for their whole break to give them a chance to enjoy some quality one-to-one time. Guests staying at our Hazel, Willow, Maple and Holly romantic holiday cottages have access to the following shared facilities:
- Fishing lakes, for a quiet afternoon by the water
- A tennis court, for some friendly competition
Plus, every cottage has access to:
- 24 acres of meadowland, for an easy stroll without having to drive anywhere
Bringing Your Dog?
A few of our cottages for couples also welcome one well-behaved dog, so you don’t have to leave yours at home.
- Fig has a galleried bedroom.
- Virginia has a double bedroom with an en-suite shower.
- The Tiny House is adults-only and a quirky alternative to a traditional cottage.
Dartmoor’s open moorland offers miles of walks to share with your dog. See our Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages page for more details.
