Abbotskerswell Folly’s - 1 The Folly’s

This single-storey lodge dates from an era when follies dotted English estates as quirky focal points—and that character remains. Everything is on one level: a living and dining space with smart TV opens onto a garden with patio furniture; the kitchen has electric cooking; the bedroom holds a kingsize bed; and an ensuite shower room completes the layout. One car can park on site, and there's an EV charger available. Essentials like electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are covered.

Dogs stay free, and the owner is a qualified dog trainer who can offer advice. The property sits within a gated 2-acre estate near Abbotskerswell village itself, where a pub and local shops are walkable. Another dog-friendly pub lies five minutes on foot, with a dog-friendly coffee shop and store ten minutes away. A footpath outside the gates connects to routes around the surrounding area. The Devon coast is roughly 15 to 20 minutes' drive; Exeter sits about 12 miles off. Moorland walking and several golf courses are nearby, making this a practical base for exploring both upland and seaside Devon without crowds at the door.
