Pack your bags and doggy treats for a wholesome seaside getaway in Torquay, in between the town centre and canine-friendly beach. Settle into this homely property with traditional cottage interiors and a delightful outside space for dining alfresco with your loved ones. Enjoy long dog walks along the coastal path, swims in the sea and easy access to an array of independently run eateries on your doorstep.
Step inside and walk across the wood-panelled flooring in the welcoming kitchen with a horseshoe-shaped fitted unit, plus a dining table with chairs. Continue into the comfortable warm neutral-toned lounge with three plump sofas around a coffee table, beneath a chandelier. Climb the stairs to reach the first floor which has a family bathroom, a king-size bedroom with an en-suite and a twin room. Outside is a paved courtyard with furniture and a parasol.
During your stay on a quiet residential road in Torquay, you can start your day by wandering down to the sand and shingle Meadfoot Beach (less than 400 metres) – which allows four-legged friends on the northern end all year round. Join the South West Coast Path from near Meadfoot Beach Viewpoint – less than 0.5 miles away. From here you can hike to London Bridge Arch (1 mile), Peaked Tor Cove (1 mile) and the palm-tree-lined harbour (1.5 miles). Further afield, you can reach the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by heading south to Berry Head National Nature Reserve (10 miles) – around here you can find an abundance of secluded coves, rugged cliffs and National Trust sites.
