Escape to North Devon where golden beaches, rugged moors and bustling fishing villages await. With wonderful stick-chasing spots to discover, bring your four-pawed companion along to join in the family fun. Your fantastic location is just 5 miles from the seaside village of Instow where you can dine alfresco by the water and scatter the sand with pawprints all year round before returning home to bubble the night away in the hot tub in the rural village of Newton Tracey.

Step inside and settle amid the charming country style. Exposed beams, calming hues and brickwork create an inviting ambience in which to unwind. Find your pup sprawled out in front of the warming wood burner and join them in the lounge for post-adventure relaxation. On warm days, throw open the French doors and let the summer breeze inside. Also boasting French doors is the kitchen/diner which exudes a classic style and is a lovely place to cook. After dinner, enjoy drinks in the enclosed garden whilst your pup chases their tail and sniffs out new scents. There is a hot tub where you can bubble the day away and unwind before bed. Upstairs, a pair of sumptuous bedrooms create peaceful havens in which to drift off.

Pick up delicious, local treats in Barnstaple (5.5 miles) where there is a theatre and cinema if you fancy a night out. Once you’ve bagged some goodies, head to the coast for a day filled with sun, surf and sea. You’ll be keen to visit the 3 miles of soft sand that awaits at Saunton (12.5 miles) where dogs are welcomed all year round. Stretch your legs on the traffic-free Tarka Trail and enjoy pitstops at delicious eateries along the way at Fremington Quay (5.5 miles), Yelland (5.5 miles) and Instow (5 miles).

A lovely property, well maintained and equipped, ideal for winding down after a day on the coast or walking. The only caveat is that the road outside is a busy one and on a hill, so that wagons and farm machinery can be quite noisy as they use their gears...farmers start early too! Having said that the house is well insulated and if you're not planRead morening on spending too much time in the garden or lying in, in the morning, it soon becomes background. The price reflects this and is excellent value Hide

Our 2nd visit to the cottage and we absolutely love it, its so clean & tidy well maintained, welcoming & warm.. the pub just down the road is also a high recommendation too, esp for their Sunday carvery. Unfortunately our holiday ended short as we had a sudden death in the family but the owner was so w caring. We wanted to go again but due to the nRead moreews of the passing in the family we are not sure we could return with this sad memory, maybe in time when our hearts have healed we can come back. Hide
