Pack your bags and dog treats and head to this elegant cottage with touches of coastal and contemporary decor. This cottage is the perfect place for a small family who want to explore the surrounding East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you’ll find fruitful heathland, wooded valleys and a slice of the Jurassic coast. If your hound loves to splash around in the water, treat them to a trip to the pebble and shingle Ladram Bay Beach (1 mile). After a long day in the fresh air, settle down in front of the crackling wood burner with your beloved four-legged friend.

The lounge has a large, comfortable ‘L’-shaped sofa and a Smart TV and is a great spot for your human and canine family to relax after a long day out.

When it’s time to tuck in, sit down at the wooden table and chairs in the dining room in front of the wood burner. Also on the ground floor is the bright and airy twin room. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach the master bedroom with a super-king-size bed and a twin room with a zip-and-link. The is one bathroom upstairs and one downstairs. Outside there is a gravelled area, leading to a grassed area where your dog can stretch their legs.

Put on your walking boots and stroll along the South West Coast Path to the High Peak scenic point (2 miles) with spectacular views across the coast. If you keep going, you’ll reach the traditional seaside town of Sidmouth (3 miles), where you’ll find some excellent ice cream parlours, independent shops and an array of restaurants.

Lovely cottage very comfortable. Everything you would want for a relaxing break. The village of Otterton is a great location to enjoy the east Devon coastline. The Otterton Mill serves really good food and it was lovely to be able to get freshly baked bread everyday.

Lovely, roomy and well appointed cottage. Comfortable and nicely decorated with an excellent location to explore the local area. Really enjoyed our stay with our dog. Only down side is a noisy road outside but it was very warm so we had all the windows open

Good location in a nice village. Good size cottage with all major amenities. The property could have done with a more thorough clean and was a bit dusty/smelly/damp when we arrived.

Willow Cottage is situated in the most charming little village, with Budleigh Beach & Sidmouth walking distance if you like a good walk. There are fantastic walks around the area and the Mill at Otterton does the most gorgeous Plougmans and cream teas. The kings arm is not a bad pub and the locals are lovely.
