  • A stylish single storey holiday home which would be perfect for family and friends

  • Shops, pubs restaurants and golf all located on your doorstep
Property code: OC-R27702

Surrounded by miles of soft golden sand and blessed with some of the best waves in the country, the North Devon coastline is where you can fall in love with seaside living and wild walks. This fetching getaway is perfect for families looking to spend time with their four-pawed pals in this coastal haven.

After long walkies, wash your canine companion down with the mud daddy machine in the garage before leading the way into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to flop down on the sofa as weary paws snooze at your feet. Gather the pack around the dining table to plan tomorrow’s adventure as you enjoy a hearty feast that you’ve prepared in the stylish kitchen. Tuck your pup into their spot beside the sofa before retiring to the peaceful super-king-size bedroom or either of the two fetching super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms for a well-earned rest that’ll leave you with a new leash of life before tomorrow’s adventure. Have a ball dining alfresco on the patio as four-legged friends play freely on the enclosed lawn.

Renowned for its seaside landscape, there are plenty of stick-throwing opportunities in the coastal town of Westward Ho!, nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Treat your four-pawed pal to 2 miles of golden sand at Westward Ho! Beach, 1.5 miles away; don’t forget to fetch yourself an ice cream! From the headland, join the South West Coast Path to find plenty of sticks to fetch across the cliff tops. Scamper down the Tarka Trail from nearby Bideford (4 miles) on foot or two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up, to be rewarded with scenic views across the estuary.

  • 3 bedrooms – 3 super-king-size bedroom and 2 Super king beds that can be made into twins on request.

The property is ideally positioned in a lovely village. The garden was great for our dogs, 100% secure even for our little Houdini. The bungalow was wonderfully clean on arrival with a little welcome hamper and milk in the fridge. Everything you need is on the doorstop - will be booking again.

Excellent property, perfectly located close to everything you need; shops, restaurants and the beach. Only thing that was a little strange, was that my wife said she felt as if we were being watched. I had no evidence of this, but she felt a bit, almost awkward. Had a lovely time though and the dogs loved it.

Fabulous cottage in a central location. Other than for a couple of days out with the kids, we didnt need to use the car! The bars, takeaways and arcades are on the doorstep and the beach is almost across the road. All in all, this is a wonderful and well thought out property. Would highly recommend for both families and couples.

We booked Ridgeway last minute and we are so glad we did. Excellent location near the beach and handy for bars and restaurants. Being near the Tesco shop was also really useful for groceries. Our dogs loved the big enclosed rear garden and the fantastic Westward Ho beach. Will definitely book again if going back to Westward Ho.

This is a wonderful holiday home, it has everything you could want. Its very homely and the beds are so comfortable and soft. The garden is fab for the kids and when it rained they played in the garage, they had so much fun. The gate at the back is great and easy to get on the park but very safe with all the bolts and padlock. Its in the best locRead moreation for everything, just be aware of the road with little ones, something that is out of the control of the house owner. I stood my grandchildren at the edge of the drive and explained the danger and that they could not pass the line with out holding an adults hand and this worked wonderfully. This was our second visit this year and I have already booked for next July. Thank you. Hide

The cottage was very well equipped and as described in the information provided. It is ideally located for the beach, local amenities and shopping. As someone with limited mobility everything was accessible within the house and also getting out and about. The garden is safely enclosed for the dog, catches the sun and is quite sheltered.
