A spacious and detached house in Putsborough, on the North Devon coast, this is a delightful cottage for a seaside escape. With three bedrooms, it can accommodate up to six people making it perfect for either family or friends - plus a much-beloved dog.

Inside, the house is set out across two floors and is flooded with light throughout. The downstairs lounge is large, and very comfortable thanks to cosy sofas situated around the fireplace and TV, so it’s the perfect spot to kick back and relax on chillier nights. The kitchen is also generously proportioned and has everything you will need to cook up delicious meals for all your party. It has a separate, adjoining dining area for sociable mealtimes. The ground floor is home to one of the double bedrooms, as well as the large family bathroom. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a useful utility area and separate WC. To go upstairs, there is a choice of two staircases at either side of the property. On the first floor is a master king-size bedroom with a TV and en-suite shower room. The second room has twin beds and a TV too. Finally, there is a snug room with sofas and a TV for an extra chill-out space. Outside, the garden is fully enclosed with a lawn and a patio area. It has a BBQ and an outside dining table, chairs and sun loungers for relaxing when the weather allows. There''s even a warm outside shower to rinse off after a day at the beach or clean muddy paws when needed.

Putsborough is a pretty village with thatched cottages and a stream running through it. The golden beach at Putsborough Sands is just a half-mile from the village, with a broad swathe allowing dogs all year round. If you need to get to the beach with a lot of equipment, you can make use of the complimentary parking permit for Putsborough Sands car park.

Great property for a family gathering in an excellent location. Easy access to the local beach and great opportunities for local walks. We enjoyed all the facilities the property had to offer including the spacious garden and adequate parking.

A high quality and well presented cottage with a great enclosed garden and large lawn ideal for dogs. Only a 15 minute walk (mostly across the owners fields) to the large expanse of Putsborough/Woolacombe beach, which was surprisingly not that busy except for the south and north ends. A pleasant welcome supply of food essentials was waiting includRead moreing scones and cream. Cleanliness was good except for the patio table and chairs which were covered in bird poo. The only other improvement needed at this price would be to not provide such cheap toilet paper and only a small soap puck in the bathrooms. Hide

The five star rating says it all. The quality of the house suggests a cherished family home as opposed to a buy to rent holiday let. We would definitely come back, which again says it all.
