Overview
Property code: 85225

This lovely, detached property is in a convenient setting on the edge of Braunton and a selection of sandy beaches close by makes this the perfect base for families and groups of friends to enjoy

Sit out in the sunshine at this holiday home in Braunton and watch your pair of contented canines romp about you. This four-bedroom property on the edge of a Devon village sleeps up to eight guests and also welcomes two of their best furry friends. Enjoy being just 2.5 miles from the long, golden beach at Saunton Sands, where your pals can leave their pawprints all year round. They are also welcome to accompany you through the 1,000 hectares of Braunton Burrows, behind the beach, which also offers hours of dog-walking fun.

Step inside this bright, modern home and call your dogs through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen. Let them stretch out on the floor to enjoy the warmth of the underfloor heating and light the wood burner too to enhance the ambience. On summer days, pull open the bi-folding doors so your pair of perfect pups can amble out into the garden. Prepare their meal and yours in the chic kitchen area, with its central island, then feed them in here while the human guests all gather round the table in the dining room. There is also a ground-floor WC and utility room, as well as a king-size bedroom and a twin. The family bathroom is at this level, while two more king-size bedrooms are upstairs on the first floor, each with an en-suite shower room and one with a smart TV. Sit outside and even light the BBQ while your happy hounds race about on the artificial lawn. Find parking for two cars at the house.

Take your dogs on a 15-mile walk along the South West Coast Path from Braunton to Woolacombe. This section, which is also part of the Tarka Trail, captures fabulous, far-reaching, clifftop views out towards Lundy Island.

Lovely host, quick to respond. The house is spacious and comfortable. Gorgeous enclosed garden, which was great for the kids and dog. A short walk to the local high street and short drive to local beaches. There was plenty of space for 7 of us. Highly recommend this property.

A lovely house for a family holiday. The kitchen and living room are a very good size and the sofas so comfortable. The house has everything you need with many thoughtful touches. The location is great, a 10 minutes drive to the beach and a short walk into the centre of Braunton. The owners were very helpful and responsive to messages and questionsRead more. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed in. Thank you. Hide

Immaculate and spacious property, well located for Saunton Sands beach (4 minutes drive) and for visiting picturesque coastal resorts and footpaths.

We were family of 4, 2parents and 2 children in their 20's so enjoyed the shared space but also space to 'do our own thing' Hide
