Property code: OC-DISTAN

Admire coast and countryside views with your beloved bow-wow curled up at your feet in this fantastic North Devon holiday home. This elevated property boasts dual-aspect rooms and a wrap-around decking to ensure you can always soak up the very best sights when relaxing indoors or out. A great choice for your whole pack, the lodge accommodates four guests and two dogs, perfect for a small family. Take the half-mile walk down to Croyde beach each morning to let Rover stretch his legs, savouring a morning coffee as you sit and admire the early-bird surfers out amongst the crashing waves.

Let your furry friend lead the way as you venture up external steps and onto the property’s decking. This outdoor space is equipped with all the furniture you might need for making the most of great weather. Step inside to find a bright and cheerful open-plan living space with vibrant splashes of colour and plenty of space to enjoy restful mornings and lazy evenings. Your dogs can position their favourite beds and bowls from home to bring cosy creature comforts into this ever-comfortable space. Both bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, are just off this room, so you’ll never be too far from your delightful doggo when bedtime comes around.

Backed by sandy dunes, Croyde Bay offers a wonderful place to exercise your dog throughout the colder months when canine restrictions aren’t in place. You can let your furry pal chase a tennis ball to their heart’s content or embark on a long, rewarding walk along the South West Coast Path from here. In the summer months, take a short drive to Ilfracombe (11 miles) where you’ll find three pleasant nearby bays where dogs are permitted year-round. Here you’ll also find plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants where your pets are invited with a warm welcome.

The cottage is lovely and the views are to die for. Just 10 mins from beach and pubs. However, the access road is extremely narrow and unless you have a small car, you may get scratches along the side of your car from the bushes lining the road.

The cottage was lovely, well equipped, comfortable and in a great location affording good views. Access was difficult as the narrow access lane was overgrown and caused scratches to my vehicle. The decking was rotten in places and needs attention. I would never use Marsdens again, they ignored numerous attempts to communicate With regard to issues Read moreraised they are truly a Company beyond contempt in my experience. We would definitely return if the minor issues were corrected but would not book with this agent. We would recommend that customers were advised about the access. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback, we have noted your comments and will look into this. Hide

We had a fabulous holiday at Distant point. A wonderful well equipped property with amazing views in a great location. We had many lovely walks from the door with stop offs at the local pubs with the dog. We will definitely be booking again.
