Located on the North Devon coast, this paw-friendly property with a private patio garden is a fantastic base for adventurous humans and hounds. Inspired by its seaside location, the elegant interiors feature calming hues of blue with earthy tones which help you to truly unwind on your holiday.

Offering a warm welcome into the property upon arrival is the living room. Furnished with luxurious leather sofas, bar stools and soft blankets, you’ll feel at home and ready to relax from the moment you step inside. Decorated with a subtle nautical theme and contemporary details, this room sets the tone for the remainder of the home. The kitchen is a social hub, with a beautiful glass-topped dining table located beside the doors to the garden which you can throw open and allow the fresh air to fill the room or take your dinner outside for a spot of al fresco dining. Adjoining the space is the bright kitchen area which enjoys traditional styling and ensures you have everything you need to cook up a storm for all the family. On the first floor you’ll find the four bedrooms, starting with the master bedroom which features a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room sharing a calming blue theme. For children, there is a playful bunk room, as well as a tasteful single bedroom, and the final bedroom features a double bed with calming sandy tones. Outside, the decked garden area is a great place for your doggo to stretch their legs whilst the rattan seating area makes for a great area for entertainment.

For a day out on the beach you’ll be spoilt for choice, with the beaches of Woolacombe (11 miles), Croyde (14 miles) and Saunton (5 miles) all welcoming pups to play all year round. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a change of scenery, Exmoor National Park (5 miles) offers an expanse of moorland, woodland and grassland where you and your hounds are sure to have a ball.

Good location but not much open out of season in village. Closest big supermarket is Tesco in Ilfracombe. Beds a little uncomfortable for all of us but well equipped house and pleasant stay once the house alarm was turned off!

The house is beautiful and well equiped and has fabulous views. I believe that the property is best suited for adults or families with older children because there is alot of glass , both the coffee table and dining table have large glass plate tops over timber , these plates are not fixed and do not have rounded corners , we had a yound child withRead more us and it worried me sick every time she touched the tables. The house is spacious enough for a large family of seven and in great spot to go to the beach , visit the pub or restaurants and shops Coombemartin has to offer . The steep slope mentioned is the sharp steep drive up to the property , it is very steep indeed. Hide

The location was good for Combe Martin, just about 5 minutes walk to the sea, though the steep road was extremely steep. Combe Martin Beach is ok but we travelled to the much nicer beaches at Saunton & Woolacombe. The outside seating area was a let down, it was not at all inviting. The house was comfortable & the beds were comfortable. Overall an eRead morenjoyable holiday. Hide

A super house with lots of thoughtful touches eg welcoming refreshing treats for both guest and dogs and a telescope. There was a useful selection of maps and information on the local area, along with books and dvds when relaxing.

A lovely home from home with everything thought of. Very comfortable, the beds were fantastic. We all had a perfect nights sleep each night. We really couldnt have asked for a better home to stay in. Kitchen well equipped, plenty of comfy seating. We felt extremely comfortable in this home.

Wow what a property! Elegant and so beautifully decorated. Felt so luxurious staying here. Particularly loved the rainfall showers with oodles of almost instant hot water. Such a small walk into Combe Martin. We will definitely return.

This house is beautiful, very nicely decorated and well equipped. You will need to take your own bin bags, tea towels, dishwasher tablets and I would recommend taking some basic cleaning products. The drive up to the house is very steep and would not recommend this house to anyone with mobility issues. But apart from that, this house is lovely anRead mored has a nice sea view from the front.

A beautiful place, that was well equipped with everything we could have needed. Although the steep hill will really test your hill starts - it was a great location and exactly what we were looking for to spend a week with family near our favourite little beach.

A beautiful and clean house to stay at with a short walk the the beach ,( 5 - 10 minites to the main beach ) , yes it is a steep road up to the property but it didn't bother us at all. The house was very clean , comfortable, the beds were amazingly comfortable.

I will certainly miss sitting at the bay window at breakfast time looking at the sea. The welcome pack was well used and a lovely touch .

We loved the house and Combe Martin, and had a lovely holiday there. The view from the front bedroom was lovely, over a steep hill of fields and a sideways view of the sea. Close enough to walk down to the sea.
