Property code: OC-STONES

You’ll go mutts for this attractive property with its very own shortcut to Instow Beach via a back gate. Its sandy swathes are dog-friendly, so walkies are a stress-free and easy affair – exactly what you want on any break away. This lovely, two-bed cottage also offers bucketloads of charm and traditional features along with up-to-date, stylish interiors for a really comfortable and relaxing holiday. This well-equipped home from home works like a dream for a couple or small family and their VIP (very important pup).

This thoughtfully designed house is bright and airy, with light decor and nautical pops throughout for a really fun and relaxing feel. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner flows well and suits most groups. The lounge is generous with sumptuous sofa seating and a focal electric wood-effect fire. Through a large archway is the dining area, seating four around a wooden table, with the modern kitchen slightly around the corner from the longe and with a door out to the rear garden. Leave it open so you and your furry pal can come and go. Sleeping quarters comprise one smart double and a twin bedroom with a calming vibe. Venture outside for various places to sit in the private, paved courtyard garden complete with furniture and a BBQ.

Treat yourself to a pub meal; there’s a choice of two dog-friendly pubs in the village as well as other eateries and amenities. Lead the way to adventure with a trip on the seasonal foot ferry from Appledore to Instow for sightseeing with a difference. And, yes, dogs can go too! Make sandcastles on the beach or if you want to blow the cobwebs away strike out on foot, top dog by your side, to walk stages of the South West Coast Path, practically on your doorstep.

This is a lovely cosy cottage, literally a stone's throw from the beach. The decoration is tasteful and pleasant; everything is extremely comfortable. The owner is on hand next door to answer any queries. The garden is a sunny spot and well-equipped with garden furniture. It has a pleasant paved, enclosed garden with a back gate which meant my dogRead more could enter here rather than through the front door when she was wet. I have stayed in a few pet-friendly cottages and this one really was pet-friendly. There was a water bowl outside, treats and towels. I asked for a stair-gate so that my dog could not go upstairs and this was ready fitted for my arrival. I had a really happy holiday in this cottage and will definitely return next year for a longer stay. Thank you, Lorraine. Hide

This was our 2nd visit to Stones Throw as we love the cottage and its easy access to Instow's amenities. The cottage is very clean, airy and comfortable set within a quiet location. The owner who lives close by is very nice, friendly and helpful.
