How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence

- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Endeavour at Woodhouse Farm is one of the most generously-scaled dog-friendly holiday rentals in Devon - a 7-bedroom cottage at Ashcombe Country Estate that sleeps 15 across multiple bedrooms, with up to 2 dogs welcome and a properly enclosed garden that one recent pet-bringing family specifically praised. For multi-family groups or extended-family weekends where you need to bring a dog or two without compromising the layout, this is a rare combination of scale + dog welcome that's hard to find at any price point.
The Ashcombe Country Estate location is rural Devon (Dawlish area, Teignbridge District) - peaceful, accessible to South Devon beaches and the Exe Estuary, with the Newton Abbot / Exeter axis within driving distance. The property comes with hot tub, swimming pool, sauna, traditional AGA cooker, American-style fridge freezer - amenity-rich for a self-catering rental.
The pet welcome is genuine but built around the enclosed garden as the key feature: it's safely secure for dogs to be off-lead in the outdoor space, which matters when you're managing 15+ humans plus 2 dogs across a multi-day stay. The property doesn't disclose a pet fee publicly - confirm at booking through your agency (DogFriendlyCottages, Sykes, or directly via the Ashcombe Estate).
Where it suits
An excellent fit for large family groups or multi-couple stays with 1-2 dogs who need substantial space and rural Devon countryside. The 7-bedroom + sleeps-15 + dog-welcome combination is genuinely rare; most large-scale rentals limit dogs or exclude them entirely. Best for week-long stays where the size of the property justifies the per-night cost and where the enclosed garden becomes a usable everyday space for both humans and dogs.
