Return to this North Devon cottage from coastal walks to throw a ball for your faithful friend in the enclosed, lawned garden. Ideal for parties with pups in tow, the three-bedroom Croyde retreat sleeps six guests and features a raised decked terrace with splendid sea and countryside views. Perfectly located for the South West Coast Path, it is 2.5 miles from the golden stretches of Saunton Sands that are dog friendly all year round.
Make your way inside with your happy hound to discover reverse-level accommodation with an almost Scandinavian style. Your bedrooms, a super-king-size, a king-size and a twin, are all on the ground floor. There is also an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom for rinsing the sand and salt off after trips to the beach. Follow your furry friend up to the first floor of the cottage to emerge in its expansive, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This has a high, vaulted and beamed ceiling; a beautiful wooden floor and doors to the terrace that you can open on summer days to let your contented canine pad outside. Light the wood burner during the chillier months so he can toast his paws while you watch the Smart TV. Prepare feasts for humans and hounds alike over in the kitchen area then gather round the table for holiday meals. Open a bottle of wine at the table on the terrace on fine days or take your pet and any children down to play on the grass. There is private parking for three cars.
Pack a picnic and a few dog treats and head off to Woolacombe Beach for the day. Ideal for swimming and surfing, this also welcomes delighted dogs at any time. Stretch four paws with a 3-mile walk out to the National Trust’s Baggy Point.
