Just 100 metres from the beach, this three-bedroomed bungalow is every salty sea dog’s dream. An open-plan social space and choice of outdoor areas offer plenty of space for family, friends and four-pawed pals to wind down after tail-wagging walks along the South West Coast Path. Private parking means you can unpack and explore at your own pace.
Lap up the views across Coombe Martin Bay before you step into an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with plenty of windows and doors onto the patio so you can enjoy a breath of sea air at any time. Wooden flooring and interesting artworks are complemented by exposed beams; in the lounge area, a choice of comfortable seating sets the scene for companionable catch-ups before the Smart TV. The sleek kitchen houses everything required for effortless meal prep; gather at the dining suite, and you’ll have a splendid view of the coastline. Once the pups are bedded down for the night, follow the hallway to find the first of three bedrooms – a king-size, with its own en-suite shower room. Two steps up lead to two further bedrooms, each with twin beds and sharing a contemporary family bathroom. A choice of garden areas offers sun and shade at any time of day; at the front of the property, the terrace has furniture for al fresco dining, while to the rear, the tiered garden is laid to lawn.
Combe Martin borders both the Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Coast National Landscape, while a few metres from your doorstep, the South West Coast Path passes through the village. Just below the bungalow, the main harbour beach welcomes dogs out of the main summer season, while neighbouring Newberry beach extends a year-round invitation to sniff out its rock pools and play on the pebbles. For a doggie day out with a difference, visit Lynton and Lynmouth, less than 13 miles away – pets are welcome on the water-powered funicular railway that links the two villages.
