Property code: OC-SILVBI

Make the most of Devon’s dog-friendly beaches with a stay in this wonderful coastal accommodation, a modern space that always welcomes canine companions. A perfect place for the whole pack, the property sleeps six guests and two dogs across two stunning storeys. Whilst adults and kids can enjoy the holiday home’s ever-comfortable interiors, adjacent garage/games room and excellent appliances, your four-pawed pals can make the very most of the sprawling lawn and patio garden accessible at the rear. This outdoor space is entirely enclosed, perfect for even the most cunning of escape-prone pets!

You won’t feel on top of one another when staying in this extremely spacious holiday home, even when staying with larger breeds of dogs. The extensive lounge/kitchen/diner provides plenty of space for your pups to position their favourite beds and blankets from home, although we’re sure you’ll spot them sidling up to you as you sit back and relax on the L-shaped sofa. A set of French doors in the lounge area provides direct access to the outdoor space, an ideal spot for chilling on summer evenings. As day turns to night and your pets doze off, find the first of three bedrooms, a light and bright king-size, right here on the ground floor. Two final bedrooms, another king and a twin, can be found on the first floor.

Sniff out adventure around Westward Ho! Beach (1 mile), a wide sandy expanse that’s ever-popular with dog walkers and families year-round. Walkies are always welcomed on the wild dunes of the Northam Burrows Country Park (1.5 miles), and you’ll find large areas of the beach with no pet restrictions in the summer months. A waymarked walking path that’s filled with awe-inspiring scenery and plenty of wildlife to chase is the South West Coast Path, an extensive route that’s less than a mile away.

Great property for 5 adults, 2 of which were elderly ( downstairs bedroom and bathroom), and 2 dogs (enclosed garden). The location worked well for us. Very quiet and lovely walks, through the National Trusts, Kipling walk at the top of the hill leading down into Westward Ho. Also close to the main road leading to other attractions. We would most dRead moreefinitely stay here again. Hide

Lovely house, modern and has everything you need, a nice new rug would be nice in the living room. Great location to walk and drive out to go on other walks. This was our second stay and enjoyable as the sun was out every day!!

The house was very clean and comfortable. It was probably the best equipped place for cooking that we've ever stayed in! The combined kitchen, dining area and sitting room was a sociable set up, with plenty of room for the six adults in our party.

We loved the airy modern feel of the property and made use of the comfortable garden seating every morning and evening. The spacious garden was ideal for the dogs and well maintained. The 10 min walk to the seafront was perfect but the uphill return walk was pretty hard core.
