Lose yourselves in the wonderful coastal views and impressive seascapes from this elevated, pup-welcoming retreat in Ilfracombe. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom abode looks out towards the Bristol Channel and makes a great base for an extended family or group of friends. With a wood burner for winter stays and a balcony and courtyard garden for summer breaks, this is a superb, dog-friendly choice at any time of year.

Give sandy paws a good rub in the entrance before following your furry friend into the hallway and through to the open-plan lounge/diner. You’ll find yourselves drawn to the French doors with their incredible views out towards the ocean. Keep these open in summer or closed with the wood burner roaring in the colder months. Find your favourite programme on the Smart TV as your contented canine curls up on the rug. Play family games and set the table for dinner before calling your eager chum through to the kitchen/diner for his own meal. Serve up his feast as your dinner bubbles in the oven and you take a moment to relax at the breakfast bar with sea views. There’s also a handy utility/shower room downstairs, just off the kitchen. When you are ready to retire for the night, pat your pawsome pal farewell and climb the stairs to the first floor. Here you will find two king-size bedrooms with sea views – one with an en-suite shower room. There are also two twin rooms and a family bathroom. Take your happy hound out to the balcony from the lounge or unwind together in the courtyard garden. There is private, off-road parking for three cars.

Stroll 0.5 miles to scenic Wildersmouth Beach, where your pal can leave paw prints all year round. Strike out along the South West Coast Path together for a bracing dog walk and stunning views.

Well-equipped, very clean, and comfortable house with wonderful views out to sea. Guests with mobility issues should be aware that there are a lot of steps down to the garden, which is small and paved, and the house is in a one-way road which is quite steep, and is a long climb back up on foot from the harbour area. There is also no loo on the grRead moreound floor. Parking for 2 cars was interesting but manageable. Hide

Lovely comfortable home with amazing views. Well equipped, and a superb welcome pack awaiting us on arrival. It is a steep up and down to the quay, but the exercise is good, especially after the cream teas!

Loved staying at this house. Great sea views from all the main rooms in the house. Standard of finish is very high, with lots of equipment not normally provided in rental homes. Great also to have off street parking.

A lovely cottage in the perfect location for making the most of all that Ilfracombe has to offer; all within a short walk. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The views from the kitchen, living room and bedroom are fabulous and there is an outside balcony to take in the views and also a self-contained garden whRead moreich was perfect for our two little Shih Tzus. There was a lovely welcome pack of goodies which were yummy :-). Having off street parking was really helpful and there was plenty of room for our large car. You could leave the car at the cottage and not use it all holiday because there are plenty of lovely restaurants and cafes within walking distance (we recommend The Terrace Tapas Bar and Lime Kiln Cafe and Bar) and the south west coast path is on your doorstep. However, it is a great base from which to explore the wider area. We would recommend Lynton and Lynmouth and the Valley of the Rocks. Hide
