Tucked in the heart of the charming village of Thurlestone, this welcoming coastal bungalow is the perfect retreat for couples or small families travelling with their faithful hound. With spectacular sea views stretching across the Avon Estuary to Bantham Beach, Burgh Island and beyond, it’s a lovely setting to pause and savour the sunsets with your furry companion by your side.
Head inside the bright, coastal-inspired bungalow and feel instantly at home. Driftwood accents and soft blue tones create a seaside atmosphere, while the huge windows in the living area frame those jaw-dropping sea views. Sink into the cosy seating after a long walk with your loyal companion, pop on a favourite film on the Smart TV, or light the wood burner in the cooler months for an extra layer of warmth. At the far end of the living space, the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up tasty meals, with a bar area for laid-back holiday dining. The two bedrooms – a king-size with countryside views and a twin bedroom – share a sleek shower room. The mature rear garden, accessed via steps from the back door, is a peaceful spot for enjoying a sundowner or an al fresco dinner as you admire the views across the valley. Your four-legged friend will love sniffing around the lawn while you relax on the patio. There’s also a bench and lawned area at the front of the property for soaking up the sea air, plus private parking for one car.
After a day of beach walks and countryside rambles, reward yourself with a pint or a hearty meal at the village pub, less than half a mile away. Thurlestone’s famous links and clifftop golf course – also home to 12 tennis courts – is close by if you fancy a game. For sand-between-the-paws fun, Bantham Beach’s dog-friendly zone (1 mile) is popular with families and surfers, while South Milton Sands (4.5 miles) welcomes four-pawed adventurers year-round and has a dog-friendly cafe. Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth are all within 17 miles with plenty of interesting sights, sounds and smells to entertain curious canines.
