If you fancy spending your holiday feasting on cream teas, lounging on sandy beaches and walking along heritage coastline, book a stay at this charming Devon home. Located in the pretty town of Bideford, this four-bedroom cottage is your springboard for discovering this delightful corner of south-west England. With a good-sized garden and a wood-effect electric fire, this property is bound to tick all your pet’s boxes – and you’ll love its spacious rooms and welcoming vibe.
The house is decorated with lots of colour and seaside-inspired artwork on the walls. In the roomy lounge, there’s ample sofa space for stretching out in the evenings, perhaps catching up with something on the Smart TV while your pet snoozes at your feet. The dining room is perfect for enjoying family meals, and there’s a second TV here too. Outside you’ll find a large garden with a huge lawn for your waggy-tailed chum to run around on, plus a raised decked area that’s perfect for having coffee and cake on warm mornings.
The house is on one of Bideford’s oldest streets, next to a church. It’s minutes from the shores of the River Torridge which leads down to the estuary at Appledore (3.5 miles). There’s plenty to do with your pet in the nearby area, be it trying out one of Bideford’s many dog-friendly pubs or taking walks by the sea at Westward Ho! (3.5 miles). The Tarka Trail, which runs through Bideford, is another great option – this former railway line is now a cycling and walking path and is perfect for taking long or short walks nearby. If you fancy a trip on a boat, book a trip to Lundy Island, a tiny island that lies 12 miles offshore.
