Lose yourself in far-reaching views as Rover races across the lawn at this gorgeous, contemporary-style barn in Devon. This impressive, four-bedroom holiday home, which has a hot tub, is situated at Littleham. Sleeping eight guests, it is just 5 miles from the golden beach at Westward Ho!, which has sections that are dog friendly all year round.
Wander inside the single-storey abode, which is fronted by swathes of glass. Let Rover pad back about the capacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that has been designed so your large party and four-legged friend can relax in comfort together. Sink back into the corner sofa to watch the Smart TV until puppy eyes start pleading for dinner. Feed your hungry hound in the kitchen, where you will find everything you need to help you rustle up delicacies for everyone else too. Pull a stool up to the breakfast bar and perch there with a glass of wine. Set the table for lively meals with your friends and family. The barn also encompasses a handy utility room, with space for your doggy accessories, as well as your beach and walking gear. At the end of each fun day away, give furry ears a final stroke and make your way into one of the bedrooms. These include a king-size, with an en-suite shower room, two doubles and a twin. There is also a family bathroom. Awake to take Rover outside to run about the lawn every morning. Light the BBQ in the evening and set the hot tub bubbling. Enjoy quality time together in the sunshine and under the stars.
Head off to Peppercombe Beach, 4.5 miles away, which is dog friendly at any time of year. Do note, however, that the beach is pebbles, not sand and is 2 miles from where you park your car. Here, you can also pick up the South West Coast Path and follow it for a stretch with Rover by your side.
