Escape to North Devon and stay at this charming cottage, complete with a crackling wood burner and pretty, cushy furnishings and décor creating a homely, welcoming feel throughout. Situated within half a mile of the pretty beach at Hele Bay, this is an ideal location for dog-loving friends or families who like to explore the great outdoors with Fido by their side.
Dust off sandy paws in the hallway and step into the comfortable lounge/diner, where plush sofas surround the warming wood burner that’s sure to be a hit with the hound. Throw open the patio doors and let the fresh sea air wash over you on a warm summer day. The fully-equipped kitchen awaits, ready for whipping up your favourite recipes, and a convenient cloakroom completes the ground floor. Climb the stairs to the first floor, where three inviting bedrooms await – two super-king-size bedrooms and a twin room. The stylishly tiled family bathroom, with a shower over the bath, completes this level. Outside, there’s a safely enclosed garden, offering a decked area with patio furniture and a charcoal BBQ – perfect for al fresco dining on warm evenings.
Embark on adventures along the South West Coast Path, starting from the beach, or journey to Exmoor National Park (9 miles) to discover its enchanting moorlands and woodland walks that will get tails wagging. Just 1 mile away, the picturesque Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe awaits, inviting you to wander around the working harbour. Conclude your day with Britain's favourite dish – paper-wrapped fish and chips – while watching the sunset over the ocean. Explore Woolacombe (4 miles) and its renowned 3 miles of golden sand, attracting swimmers and surfers alike. While there are dog restrictions in some areas of the beach in summer months, there’s plenty of space for furry friends to roam on the lead outside of these zones.
