Property code: OC-H27657

A breezy coastal home with a courtyard garden peppered with tropical shrubs, perfectly positioned for sandy-pawed adventures along the North Devon Coast. This tranquil retreat is a wonderful space for large family gatherings or long-overdue reunions with a couple of tufty-pawed tag-a-longs in tow. Toast with a chilled tippled from the glass-fronted Sunset Terrace overlooking the shores of Westward Ho! (1 mile) where chilled bowls of water are provided for parched pups. Back at base, stretch out on the wooden deck for an al fresco supper with the pack.

This stylish property boasts a blend of traditional features and modern elegance. Picture rustic wooden beams, bright bay windows, seafoam green tones, and tasteful nautical prints. Towel off soggy paws in the hallway then pad into the light-flooded lounge/kitchen/diner. Cook up a storm in the crisp shaker kitchen and treat your hungry hounds to their well-earned supper. Pop some fizz and gather around the long feasting table for a memorable evening meal beneath the hanging lights. On balmy evenings, prop open the patio doors to dine while Fido snuffles in the leafy garden. Snuggle up amongst the plump throw pillows in the lounge and flick through the Smart TV. Retire upstairs to find four inviting bedrooms, each with soft throws and calming colour schemes. Dive into the soft sheets of two kings or two adaptable super-kings/twins. After being hounded out for morning walkies, sip a freshly brewed coffee perched at the garden bench while your furry companion scoffs their breakfast.

Feel the wind in your fur with a scenic scamper along a section of the South West Coast Path from Westward Ho! (1.5 miles). Set noses twitching with a saunter along the cobbled streets of Barnstaple (10.5 miles) or sniff hello to fellow waggy-tailed amigos at Bicclescombe Park (21 miles).

Holt Waves is a large house in a good location almost directly backing onto Northam Burrows and a short walk to both the sea and the centre of Westward Ho! The house was generally well-equipped and the bedrooms were large with good quality bedding. The wi-fi worked well but the TV seemed to be set-up exclusively for guests to sign on to their prefeRead morerred apps, such as Netflix & BBC iPlayer, which was a bit odd. The two parking spaces are great as Eastbourne Terrace is a very narrow road but note that only one is accessed via a dropped kerb. This is a comfortable property but don't expect high-end. We also had some housekeeping issues which was disappointing. Hide

The house is large, clean, well equipped and in an excellent location. The fact that I booked it for next year while I was there says it all.

There were 6 adults and one big dog in our 5 night stay. Two had to work from home during some of the stay and found no problems with the internet and holding TEAM meetings. There are desks in three of the bedrooms. The house was well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. The location was excellent for our walks across the field and to the bRead moreeach. And also to the town centre. We are hopping to return during the year. Hide
