Enjoy a taste of life on the farm in a Devon cottage that offers a warm welcome for six guests and six canine companions. Set on a 125-acre working farm in the pretty village of Holcombe, this rural retreat is adjacent to the main farmhouse in the centre of the farm and within 0.5 miles of a dog-friendly beach. It’s perfect for families or friends sharing, with the chance to meet the farm animals, plus a fully enclosed garden where pets and children can play safely. Your four-legged friends will revel in country walks on a footpath and byway along the farm boundary, and a village pub serving food is just a 200-metre stroll away.
Enter the spacious entrance hall of your holiday home and discover the light and bright lounge, with ample seating and floor space to relax in comfort. The roomy kitchen/diner has all the self-catering essentials you might need to rustle up meals for hungry guests. Upstairs, sleep soundly in three delightful bedrooms, comprising a king-size, a double and a twin, all with distant sea views. The bedrooms have access to a family bathroom. From the hallway, step outside and climb the steps to the garden, with lovely views across the surrounding countryside. There is ample private parking and a gas BBQ.
A downhill walk of 600 metres brings you to sand and shingle Holcombe Beach, where your pack can romp through the waves, before buying drinks, snacks and ice cream at the kiosk. A historic tunnel once used by smugglers leads to secluded, dog-friendly Ness Cove (5 miles). There are seasonal designated areas for pups at the traditional seaside resorts of Dawlish and Teignmouth (both 1.5 miles). Enjoy a walk with your happy hounds on leads along the Victorian promenade and pier in charming Teignmouth or head to Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor (16 miles) for magnificent views.
