Stride out across magnificent Exmoor and treat yourselves to splendid coastal walks when you and your four-legged friend stay at this charming cottage in North Devon. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom, single-storey retreat, which is 4 miles from Combe Martin, makes an exceptional, romantic hideaway for a nature-loving couple and their precious pet. Within reach of dog-friendly beaches and other beauty spots, it also has its own outdoor seating area where you can soak up the scenery after your days out together.
Follow your four-legged friend inside to find bright, airy accommodation with rustic touches, such as exposed beams. Head through the the lounge/diner to rest your weary feet and paws after your walks through Exmoor. Let your paw-some pal stretch out on the floor while you snuggle up on the sofa, which can also become a bed, in front of a good film on TV. Amble through to the kitchen to prepare a romantic meal for two and a doggy dinner for one, then serve your happy hound through here while you dine at the table in the main room. As day turns to night, show your contented canine to his bed and then make your way through to yours, in an inviting double bedroom. Wake up to enjoy a refreshing dowse in the shower room before taking your pal for a walk. Head back for breakfast in the outside seating area on summer mornings. Sit out here under the stars with a bottle of fizz on warm evenings too.
Head 3.5 miles to the coast to pick up the South West Coast Path and walk out in either direction with your happy hound. Plan a morning out on the beach at Hele Bay, 8.5 miles away, where pups can leave paw prints in the sand without restriction.
