Answer the call of the coast with your canine companion in tow, trekking just 1.5 miles to one of Devon’s beautiful beaches with man’s best friend trotting right beside you. Found on South Devon’s heritage National Landscape coastline, the endearing village of Stokenham promises a restful place to stay for both man and dog. This handsome country cottage offers peace, tranquillity and endless creature comforts, inviting eight or nine guests to stay comfortably, along with two dogs. Family and canine-approved, the property also features a large, enclosed garden set to lawn – ideal for ball games, fetch and chasing tails.
Step into this traditionally styled cottage, where bay windows let light flood in, and there’s ample space to unwind without a dog under your feet. Functionality meets comfort on the ground floor, home to a welcoming lounge, kitchen/diner and the first set of bedrooms and bathrooms. Let Fido and Rover find their cosy spot in the corner of the lounge, drifting off as you chatter away or switch on the Smart TV. Four bedrooms are laid out with restful nights in mind, two of which sit at the front of the house on the first floor, boasting immaculate sea views. Outside, the pretty garden is secure, so you can rest easy as your dogs play on the lawn, and private parking for two cars connects you to the wider Devonshire coast.
Make your way 1.5 miles down to Torcross Beach, a wide stretch of pebble shore backed by the Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve and the largest freshwater lake in the South West. This breathtaking beach is dog-friendly year-round, a blessing on sunny days. Follow the South West Coast Path to explore more coastal beauty, making your way down to Start Point to admire the Start Point Lighthouse (5 miles), with Rover leading the way.
