Discover the delights of the Devonshire coast with a stay at this charming, thatched cottage in Georgeham, North Devon. After long days exploring award-winning beaches and enjoying humongous portions of fish and chips, come home to a cosy wood burner, an enclosed garden and plenty of space for your guests and pampered pups. Or alternatively, stroll to one of the local pubs that both welcome dogs for an evening drink or hearty gastro-pub meal.
Follow the pathway past the pretty garden and through the doors of this 16th-century cottage, where canines are sure to scamper straight into the neutrally decorated lounge. The accommodation is full of charm and character with both low beamed ceilings and latch doors throughout, as befits this 400-year-old country cottage. Throw a couple of logs in the wood burner and settle down in the sumptuous sofas while Rover and Rex snooze in their cosy dog beds. The kitchen offers all the needed mod cons for a delicious homemade meal, and there is a dining area next to the window where you can look upon greenery as you tuck in. Before you climb into bed, run damp doggy towels through the washing machine in the utility to dry while you sleep. Up the steep open staircase, three bedrooms provide sanctuary to drift off in style, while the bathroom completes this floor. Enjoy lazy mornings in the garden, watching your four-legged friends run to their heart's content, while two-legged friends savour al fresco dining with a view.
The all-year-round dog-friendly beach of Putsborough is 2 miles away from the property and is particularly popular with surfers, longboarders and dog walkers. Mosey along this stunning stretch of sand for 3 miles and find yourselves at the award-winning beach of Woolacombe, where you'll find shiny shores, crystal-clear waters and several dog-friendly seafood restaurants. There are plenty of breathtaking walks to enjoy nearby as you join the Southwest Coast Path (available from your doorstep) while adventure-seeking guests can visit Watermouth Bay (10 miles) for afternoons of paddleboarding, kayaking or coasteering.
