For days at the beach and fun activities, this breezy property is an ideal base, perfect for couples or families plus your four-legged friends. It’s in a tranquil, residential part of Preston, only a mile from the town’s beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants.
Spacious and bright, this comfortable holiday home is set out all on one level. Its large, light kitchen/diner leads directly to the sunny conservatory, which also has a dining table. Both are sociable spaces for enjoying meals, or simply gathering together and planning your next adventure. The soft colours of the lounge set the tone for relaxing evenings spent around the wood-burner-effect electric fire, perhaps catching up with a favourite series on the Smart TV. The bedrooms have added character with their distinctive curved windows, each with a wood-framed double bed and pretty curtains for timeless appeal. One of the rooms has a double bed and small bunk beds for two children. They share an elegant bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. For zoomies in the garden, the large, enclosed lawn is a safe space for pups and youngsters, while adults can watch from the patio while enjoying a drink or a meal al fresco.
There are several small shops in the streets near the cottage, and in town you’ll find a wider range of shops and places to eat and drink. Dogs are allowed on the beaches at Preston and Paignton between October and April, and welcome all year round at Goodrington North Sands, 2.5 miles. At low tide, this is a large expanse of soft, golden sand where your canine companions can run and play. If you feel like a change, head to the quintessential seaside town of Torquay, 4 miles away on Devon’s English Riviera.
