Located in the stunning Devonshire countryside, close to the popular village of Hartland, this charming two-bedroom cottage is the perfect base for families and their four-legged friends, seeking to explore the North Devon countryside and coastline. The picturesque pebble beach at Hartland Quay (3.5 miles) is a lovely spot for doggy paddles (seasonal dog restrictions apply) or take the lead along the South West Coast Path for walks along the clifftop.

Approached via a path across the front lawn, enter into the light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner where your hound is never far from your side. Your kitchen area is well-equipped with everything you need for a home from home stay. Exposed beams and a wood burner-effect electric fire add charm and character to the lounge/diner where you can share meals around the elegant dining table before relaxing in one of the cosy armchairs in front of the TV. Take the stairs to the first floor where you will find the two comfortable bedrooms, a double and a twin. Remember to pack your pet’s favourite bedding so they can get a good night’s sleep too. Outside, tails will wag at the private enclosed garden laid to lawn where you can dine alfresco and enjoy family BBQs. Practise your doggy paddle in the shared indoor swimming pool, relax in the shared hot tub and sauna, and let off steam in the shared game room with table tennis, darts and table football.

Enjoying a rural location between the quaint villages of Hartland (1.5 miles) and Clovelly (4 miles) with their craft shops and traditional inns, your cottage is perfectly positioned to discover both North Devon and Cornwall. Visit historic Hartland Abbey (3 miles) to sniff out the most colourful route through the beautiful gardens and grounds. Hire rowboats to glide along the tranquil canal at Bude (15 miles) with your hound as navigator or spend the day at the long sandy beach.

We loved everything about our stay in Mettaford. The dog friendly fields and enclosed garden were ideal for our very excitable cockerpoo. We loved using the sauna and hot tub. It's such a beautiful area and just a stone's throw from the stunning Hartland coastline.
