Property code: OC-7DRIFT

Escape to the seaside with your nearest and dearest (be that family or friends) plus your all-important faithful hound. This terraced seaside cottage offers delightful sea views, two bedrooms and fabulously comfortable and practical living accommodation in the picture-postcard village of Mortehoe. The location is idyllic, with the nearest canine-compatible beach just 300 metres, in this case craggy Grunta Beach, or the more accessible golden sands of Woolacombe Bay are within 1 mile. It’s a fabulous jumping-off point for walking stretches of the South West Coast Path, discovering the North Devon coast as well as the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Who knows what treats lie in store for humans and pup alike?!

This well-equipped house is cosy yet spacious with lovely decor and stylish interiors. The large bay window in the open-plan lounge/diner floods this generous space with light and affords great coastal views, with a small table and two chairs there. Let your top dog snuggle up by the wood burner if it’s cold, as you sink into sofas to chat or watch the Smart TV. Cook up a feast in the modern fitted kitchen to eat at the table set for four in the adjacent dining area, complete with rocking chair and ornamental fireplace. The roomy sleeping quarters comprise one en-suite king-size and one twin bedroom upstairs. Outside, there’s a rear courtyard with bistro furniture and a BBQ.

Set tails wagging with great walks from the doorstep, so you can leave the car behind. Mortehoe offers panoramic views of the surrounding sea and countryside which means you can get your bearings before heading out with dog’s lead in hand along the South West Coast Path which passes opposite the cottage. Or jump back in the car to beach-hop along this picturesque stretch of North Devon coastline.

Lovely house, exceptionally clean and well equipped. Set close to the top of quite a steep hill, two minutes walk from hub of the village where there are pubs, tearoom, bistro and very good takeaways. The coast path is literally across the road with spectacular views over the bay. Many walks around so doggy heaven. Excellent holiday base.
