About this property
A two bedroom holiday bungalow with far reaching views over rolling countryside and towards Dartmoor.
This two-bedroom bungalow has a large enclosed garden with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and moors. Two canine companions can join in the holiday fun too. Holidays are extra-special when they’re shared with loved ones, and at this lovely country abode, every additional need has been catered for.
Thoughtfully adapted, you’ll feel at home the moment you pass through the front door – accessed via a ramp with hand railings – into a hallway where there’s space to leave outdoor gear. Head through to the light-filled modern light and bright lounge and you’ll find plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV, plus gorgeous garden and countryside views. The heart of any country home, the kitchen here is well equipped and has a four-seater dining suite to make every mealtime an occasion. Whether your days are busy or laidback, two peaceful bedrooms beckon. A double room has access to both sides of the bed and a convenient en-suite shower room (new 2024), while the second bedroom has twin beds. Completing the property is a bathroom (new 2024) which features a flush floor shower with seat, and railings around the WC and basin. A ramp from the back door leads into the garden where you can drink in extensive views of the surrounding countryside. There’s a patio area with a picnic bench and, on the lawn slightly further afield are two seats and a table where you can watch for wildlife.
The pretty village of East Ogwell is just a couple of miles from Newton Abbot (2 miles), a historic market town with a wide range of shops, restaurants, and pubs. Explore the nearby Dartmoor National Park (7 miles) at your own pace' the ‘Miles without Stiles’ scheme is a network of accessible routes for those who use wheelchairs or scooters. Alternatively, enjoy all the old-fashioned fun of the seaside at Paignton, 9 miles away.

Miss Course
This was our second time at Rydon Ball. We loved it so much we went back. It’s such a calming peaceful cottage with great views and very cosy and comfy to stay in. There is a lot to do in the local area, and lots of shops and eateries near by. The renovations to the bathrooms and bedrooms were lovely, and really well done. Thank you

Secluded and peaceful just as we wanted but still well located for loads of amenities and attractions. Lots of places for dog walks. A couple of nice novelties in terms of very fresh fish from owner's fish monger business at the end of the drive and fresh milk from the station near buy; you'll need 50p for a flavour shot! Added to our favourite list. Many thanks
