Take your happy hound for long countryside and coastal walks from this superb, dog-friendly cottage in South Devon. Sleeping six guests, the chic, three-bedroom hideaway nestles in Down Thomas, 5.5 miles from Plymouth. With a garden where you and your contented canine can enjoy the fresh air together after your exciting days out, the property is ideal for a family or pairs of couples on holiday together.

Usher your four-pawed pal into his new home from home and let him make himself comfortable. He will enjoy all the space offered by the light-filled cottage which provides open-plan living via its lounge/kitchen/diner. Head over to the sleek kitchen area to prepare homemade meals for hounds and humans, then call the people in your party over to the table to dine. Watch the Smart TV, chat and make plans for the following day as your cheerful chum keeps you company. One of your three super-king-size bedrooms is also downstairs. This benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Two more, which have en-suite shower rooms, can be found on the first floor. All the bedrooms can be arranged as twins instead by prior discussion and all have Smart TVs. Carry breakfast, lunch and dinner out into the sunshine of the garden and enjoy your meal alfresco-style at the table here while your furry friend stretches out in the sunshine. There is a useful, shared dog wash station, and parking for one car with the cottage. Additional parking space is subject to availability in the pub car park over the road.

Explore the rolling scenery of the South Hams with your waggy-tailed walking companion at your heel. While away warm afternoons on Bovisand Beach, 3.5 miles away, which welcomes dogs at any time. Pick up the South West Coast Path here and stride out together in either direction.
