Property code: OC-82932

Nestled within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this attractive house is ideal for families, friends, and one beloved canine companion looking for an active beach holiday. There are restrictions for your hound on Challaborough Bay Beach between 1 May and 30 September. However, less than a mile away along the South West Coast Path are Ayrmer Cove and Bigbury Bay Beach, which, to the west of the causeway, welcome your pup all year.

Step inside this impressive reverse-level property, where you will find the entrance hall and all four bedrooms downstairs. There are two king-size bedrooms, one of which features an en-suite shower, a super-king-size, and a bunk bedroom featuring a single bed on top of a double. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom. Upstairs is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, the heart of this contemporary and stylish home. The lounge area has comfortable seating and makes the perfect spot to relax, with four paws snoozing in front of the Smart TV while you catch up on a favourite film. The kitchen area has all you need to cook up a storm. The bi-fold doors from the lounge open onto a lovely, decked terrace area with plenty of seating and a BBQ, making this the ideal spot for some al fresco dining on sunny days.

You and four paws can enjoy a lovely walk along a sweep of golden sand at South Wilton Beach (9 miles). Salcombe (12 miles) boasts fantastic seafood restaurants and shopping, and your hound can enjoy the beach at North Sands all year. Dartmouth is another memorable day out for all ages. Stop on the way at Slapton Sands so your top dog can go mutts on the beach. Alternatively, head to historic Burgh Island (3 miles), reached via the sea tractor when the tide is in.

  • 4 Bedrooms – 2 king-size, 1 super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a twin on request) and 1 bunk bedroom (single over double)

We quickly established that the property and location lacks any facilities out of season, not the fault of the owners - if anything down to us not doing sufficient research. It is clear that when the Parkdean Caravan Park opposite is open then, potentially, everything else comes to life. A walk over the cliff on the coastal path meant that we foundRead more a pub at Burgh Island but we then had to brave the Sea Tractor and rising tide to get back to Bigbury-on-Sea, the wine helped overcome that dynamic!

I love this ultra modern luxurious house. My dog loved the heated floor. Its great to be able to walk to the beach in 5 minutes. Lovely walking to Bigbury beach on low tide . Ayrmer beach is a steep walk over the headland or easier walk from the NT car park. The beds are extremely comfortable. The house is gorgeous. Ive been twice in summer and winRead moreter and love Devon for walking holidays. A great base for national trust visits. Plenty of good pubs locally for eating out. Hide

A lovely luxury house to stay in. There are great walks along the coast path to 2 excellent dog walking beaches, Ayrmer and Bigbury. The local pubs are good for food, and best to pre book reservations especially Journeys end.

With some TLC this property could be really amazing. The house itself is amazing. Spacious. Ideal for a weekend break away. Location is ideal. Beach a short walk away. House is well equipt. Cleanliness, facilities and furnishings need some attention.

Lovely modern holiday house with large comfy beds. We loved the upside down living and the closeness to Challaborough beach, Bigbury and nearby Armyer Cove. The caravan park isn't a great view but it was a fantastic location. Definitely impressed and keen to come back.
