Set back from the bustling market towns and windswept beaches of North Devon is Braunton, a captivating village that’s well known for its welcoming nature. Your pampered pup will lap up the treats in store when you book this stylish pad for your adventures, and there’s plenty of delights for your party of six humans too.
Lavish interiors brimming with home comforts add a touch of elegance to cosy evenings, whether you are curled up on the sofas watching films or uncorking a bottle of wine to feast in style. Choose to dine alfresco, perched at the breakfast bar or gathered at the table, slipping Fido a few morsels as you tuck into some top-notch local produce. All three bedrooms are a sanctuary after a busy day with ample space for a basket, but if you aren’t yet ready to turn in, you’ll enjoy challenging each other to video games in the snug. Outside, the large garden is perfect to stretch Rover’s legs, and his sandy paws can be rinsed off with the handy outside tap.
The quintessential village of Braunton has a treasure trove of delights including independent shops, inviting restaurants and charming cafes serving all manner of delicious cuisines. Excellently placed for visiting the coast, you’ll soon be loading up the car and treating your sea dog to a splash in the waves and beach games galore at Saunton Sands, a seaside gem 3 miles away, that’s cleverly divided into zones to welcome waggy-tailed visitors all-year-round. Follow the coastline and you’ll reach the dizzying heights of Baggy Point 7 miles away, but past Woolacombe and Morthoe is the lesser-known Lee Bay 10 miles away, a stunning hidden cove bordered by a forest with an easy trail that leads to an excellent pub.
