Take a break at this contemporary dog-friendly holiday cottage in Devon and you’ll be ideally located to explore both the coast and countryside. Travel just 10 miles and you’ll be on the sandy beach of Instow which is lined with eateries welcoming canines, and offers access to the iconic Tarka Trail and South West Coast Path walking routes.

Encouraging guests to kick back and relax, the living room has been decorated with a muted colour palette, paired with sumptuous soft furnishings ensuring space for everyone to sprawl out. The large Smart TV is also ideal for film nights. Next door, the kitchen/diner is a great area for socialising with a sleek modern finish, a breakfast bar and a seven-seater dining table. There is also a handy downstairs WC. Upstairs there is a family bathroom, complete with a bathtub and separate shower, as well as three bedrooms. Similarly to the rest of the property, each of the bedrooms has a cool colour palette, helping you to wind down at the end of each day. Two of the bedrooms enjoy double beds, and the third has a single, perfect for children. The master bedroom can be found on the second floor, boasting exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling above the king-size bed. What’s more, the room also has an en-suite shower room for added privacy. Outside, the back garden is finished with AstroTurf as well as a patio paired with a luxurious hot tub for added luxury.

Let your dog lead the way to adventure with a visit to Hartland Heritage Coast (22 miles) for a rugged cliff top walk, or head to the pretty village of Clovelly to stroll through the cobbled car-free streets and soak in their unique way of life. For something a bit unusual, why not visit the Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden (14 miles)? Here you’ll see more than 1,000 gnomes in the fascinating garden space which is paired with a museum and pottery workshop.

A fantastic home in a beautiful little town. It has everything you could possibly need and its always lovely and clean. The welcome pack was really fantastic too. We had terrible weather this year compared to our stay there last year so only managed to use the hot tub once. The house is spacious and would highly recommended for anyone to stay Read morethere.

The property is a modern semi detached house on the main road into Great Torrington. The reason we selected this property is that we had thought from the desription it would be possible to cycle to the Tarka Trail, but this is only really achievable via a busy main road. It is adequately equipped, although the sofas are not particularly comfortablRead moree. The air fryer was a great bonus. I sent a text to the owner while we were staying there (the coffee machine didn't appear to be working) and one after we had left with a couple of maintenance items and have not received any responses!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Everything you need was available. I would suggest taking dishwasher tablets, washing tablets etc and extra loo roll. There was a lovely desk and mirrors everywhere. Hairdryers too. Hot tub was nice but we couldn't figure out how to get all the jets working lol. The owners live next door and are very helpful.

The fact that we could not get hold of the owners by telephone to tell them the hot tub was broken and filthy and there wasnt a games console as advertised for the kids, was frustrating we quickly realised that the owners actually infact lived next door was unacceptable and rude. We had builders working outside on the property all week which made uRead mores feel like we were being watched the entire time. There was no prior agreement to this being ok with us.We had a random man from the owners house next door banging on our front door telling us that we needed to be inside and hot tub off at 11.00. Even though they had not introduced the fact that they were living next door and were essentially what felt like spying on us which made me feel really uneasy. We paid alot of money for that week and it was unfortunately the most un privet place we have ever stayed at. I had to close all the curtains all week do that the man working outside painting our front porch wasn't peering in! We were promised at games console on the description which was not true and the lady wouldn't answer our calls even though we saw her outside with her kids in the week. The hot tub was hot but the water was dirty and there was filth at the bottom of the tub and none of the buttons work properly which makes the tub not relaxing at all because theres a really annoying fountain which if you turn off the bubbles and filter dont work. The house was beautiful but those things really let the holiday down and if it wasn't for the nosey next door neighbour and the hot tub /games console i would have been satisfied. The area is ok nothing special. Kind of run down to be honest. Such a shame I wish I could recommend this house to friends but sadly because of those things I'd tell them to avoid it. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we have discussed this with the owner. Hide

Hot tub needs to be emptied and refilled a proper deep clean. It was filthy when we arrived. Owner came and refilled with water 2 days in and put chemicals in. We all have hot tub rash all over our body which is a bacteria caused by dirty water. We couldnt use the hot tub on the last two days because it was absolutely disgusting and smelt horrible.Read more This needs some serious cleaning before anyone else gets this rash that we have all got. Its a real shame because it has over shadowed the whole experience. Hide
