Escape to this beautifully presented coastal house boasting tranquil vistas across the seaside village of Mortehoe on the North Devon coast. This stylish bolthole is perfect for family gatherings or a getaway with friends plus a couple of honorary four-pawed group members. Scramble across the rugged, rocky outcrops of Grunta Beach at low tide and wet the paws with a refreshing paddle, before diving into an al fresco afternoon spread on the balcony against a scenic country backdrop.
This thoughtfully styled property is bursting with charm, featuring hardwood flooring, ornate fireplaces, and weathered wooden design pieces. Slide off sandy harnesses and shoes then step into the open-plan kitchen/diner flooded with natural light. Potter in the sleek kitchen with a fresh brew and nibbles then treat your puppy-eyed pals to a well-earned chew. With the scent of supper wafting in the air, slide out the leather chairs and congregate around the farmhouse table for a celebratory feast in the ambient warmth of the crackling wood burner. Retire upstairs to the lounge and sink onto the sofa to enjoy a film on the Smart TV while your snoozy dog stretches his weary paws in front of the roaring open fire. On balmy evenings, throw open the balcony doors and stargaze beneath the twinkling night sky. Rest up in the airy bedrooms, consisting of a king-size on the first floor, as well as a double, an adaptable super-king-size/twin, and a twin on the second floor. There is an additional side balcony – a great spot for sipping your morning coffee or sniffing in the wind. There is also a shared garden below for ball-chasing antics.
Snap a blustery family photo as you bound along the winding clifftop trails of the iconic South West Coast Path, within 400 metres. Scope out the designated dog zone on the sandy shores of Barricane Beach, 800 metres, for ecstatic beachfront zoomies and sand-digging fun, while the humans tuck into al fresco fragrant Sri Lankan curry on the shoreline. Enjoy an afternoon scamper in the picturesque resort of Ilfracombe, 7 miles, and listen to the fishing boats clinking in the harbour.
