Fingals - Dog Friendly Accommodation in Dartmouth, Devon
Luxury holiday homes in Devon with tons of creature comforts and dazzling eccentricity. Fingals is magical, a jumble of a place in a hidden valley in one of the loveliest parts of south Devon close to the River Dart estuary and the coast. It is run with charm, humour and a dash of idiosyncrasy by Richard and Sheila.
A collection of four self-catering cottages in Devon, set in a rolling green valley, down narrow Devon country lanes. Fingals is hemmed in by high hedgerows and a world away from real life … just as you have given up chanting "nil desperandum" a cheery green sign informs you that you have indeed reached the land of Fingals! All dogs welcome of all shapes and sizes.
The Barn (sleeps 6)
With its high green oak trusses, well-snuggled sofas and timeworn vintage rugs, The Barn at Fingals is the perfect home from home for any group of friends or family. It has floor to ceiling windows that overlook beautiful gardens allowing natural light to flood in, creating a space that feels roomy, warm and rustic.
The holiday home benefits from a large open plan kitchen-diner & lounge area, allowing you to cook, eat, drink and relax together. It also has a covered balcony, so alfresco dining can be on the cards come rain or shine.
The Folly (sleeps 2)
Our fantastic Folly holds a prime spot at Fingals, overlooking the seasonal grass tennis court and rolling Devon countryside beyond. From the Buddha in the hallway to the array of sailing boats on the upstairs beams, this space oozes character.
Designed by architect and artist Andras Kaldor, this unique holiday home offers guests a tranquil getaway right in the heart of the beautiful South Hams. Cosy up by the wood burner, kickback on the comfy sofas with a good book or while away the afternoon sitting on the dock alongside the babbling brook.
Wisteria Suite (sleeps 4)
With views out to the beautiful Fingals gardens, treasured tennis court and Devon valleys beyond, Wisteria Suite is a delightful and quintessentially English getaway. Situated on the first floor and arranged all on one level, the outside of this charming property is adorned each Spring with the cascading purple blossoms of Wisteria.
Come Summer, it bursts to life with kiwi fruit and passion flowers, making the private covered balcony a truly magical space. Let the outdoors in by dining alfresco, enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sun or kick back with a good book.
Barberry Brook (sleeps 2)
Perched alongside the babbling brook that gives this stunning holiday home its name, Barberry Brook is a peace-seekers dream. Set over two floors and flooded with natural light, this atmospheric little house offers modern luxury with a generous dose of timeless nature.
Treat yourself to a lie-in in the sumptuous king-size bed, whilst you listen to the gentle trickling of the stream and soft cooing of doves nearby. Or take a long luxurious soak in the unique open plan bathtub, complete with its own stream view.

Add a Review“We loved staying in the wisteria suit. The suit was clean and tidy and the beds were spacious and very comfy. We loved the position overlooking the beautiful gardens and loved the pool. We are huge Fingals Fans.”

“The Folly is a more recent extension of the varied units at Fingals. It overlooks the immaculate grass tennis court and gardens full of art and sculpture. The Johnston family hospitality knows no bounds and we as visitors are as their guests. The Folly has quite steep stairs up to the living area but we are in our eighties and manage fine. We book year after year!”
- The Halliwell Family
“Fingals is an incredibly special place. Richard and Sheila are always so welcoming. Its beautiful, peaceful, and very relaxing. A must to visit, summer or winter!”
- Cat & Peter Bone
“We stayed in the Folly, which is wonderfully eclectic. Its furnishings have been carefully curated over a long period of time. It was both comfortable and convenient with cozy furniture as well as a well equipped kitchen. It reminded us of a 1930s resort with its private swimming pool, lawn tennis court, snooker table and a lot of board games and puzzles. The location is idyllic, but some might say a little remote, especially if you’re not used to driving on one lane roads. Fingal’s is not for everyone, but it was exactly right for us.”
- Sidney Roberts
“Richard has built an idyllic haven nestled in a stunning valley, by a stream. Everywhere you turn is something beautiful, lovingly crafted, or patiently grown. Stepping into Fingals is like emerging into a secret garden and haven from the bustle of a frenetic city. Richard has spent his life in service to others; from his restaurant in London to the majestic guest houses of Fingals, building environments where people can relax, escape the stresses of their lives, and unwind with friends and family. Fingals was a place we were invited to make our home, enjoy every aspect of the house and grounds, and the numerous facilities it had, and as we left the driveway to return home, wanted nothing more than to turn around and stay longer. If you’re reading this and looking to hide away from the world and recharge, stop reading and book. You will not regret it!”
