Collar this contemporary three-bed house, set among similar properties in the village of Westward Ho!, and feel like a top dog. Bathed in light, its stylish interiors are also really spacious and you get stunning views out towards the sea over the marshes from many rooms and the veranda. The clever ‘upside down’ layout of the house really takes advantage of these vistas. Open-plan living awaits here with large, angular windows and luxurious touches throughout. This des res works equally well for a multi-generational group of friends and/or family plus your very own VIP – very important pup.

Leave dog towels and shoes to hand in the spacious entrance hall. Downstairs, the garden room is good for reading or general quiet time with the breeze coming through the open bifold doors. The elegant bedrooms offer bright and roomy sleeping quarters down here too in the form of two king-size and one twin bedroom. All three have slightly individual decor and are gorgeously calm spaces. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is an impressive space that’s brilliant for spending quality time with friends and family. There’s lots of comfortable sofa seating, dining furniture for six and a sleek, contemporary kitchen area under its wonderful cathedral ceiling. Wide bifolding doors open onto the furnished balcony with its views over the Burrows. Downstairs, the garden has a lawn and furnished patio with a BBQ, just right for languid summer evenings.

There are shops, pubs and restaurants within 0.5 miles if you fancy a treat or short outing. Test your bravery at Westward Ho! Rock Sea Pool, a tide-refreshed open sea water pool dating back to Victorian times (no dogs, sadly). Back on dry land, lead the way to adventure with your best furry buddies covering stretches of the stunning South West Coast Path.

This was our second stay at Dormy House and we had an amazing holiday. Excellent location and luxurious surroundings. Ideally situated for walking to Bideford, Appledore and visiting Instow by car. Right next door to the excellent restaurant at the Royal North Devon Golf course as well.

If we were looking to return to the Westward Ho! area we would be more than happy to return to Dormy House. It's a beautiful modern house, in a very quiet location with fabulous views across Northam Burrows. It's a short walk into the main shopping/bar area and a good base for exploring the North Devon Coast. The golfers from the club next door Read moreoften practice just beyond the boundaries of the garden, which can be entertaining and doesn't really disturb the peace and quiet. Hide

The house was beautiful and clean, the sea views and the lovely sunsets we're relaxing to see. Even the stormy weather mid week was exciting to watch. Just a lovely house in a quiet area it was hard to leave and come back home.

Great house. Amazing Spec and the sunsets over Lundy Island from the balcony were breathtaking. I couldnt recommend Dormy House more highly. We had a fantastic week of weather but the house itself and the views made it even better. Thankyou.
