Explore the rugged North Devon coast and settle in the market town of Torrington with tail-wagging walks from your door. Treat your four-pawed companion to walks on the Tarka Trail before heading to the golden sands at Westward Ho! (10 miles) for a refreshing dip. With a sociable kitchen and welcoming wood burner, this bolthole is perfect for families of walkers or groups of friends with a passion for the great outdoors.
Find yourself in the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner, where feasts can be rustled up, drinks can be sipped at the island and tasty tit bits can be devoured. The island is a great spot for helping your chef chop, slice and dice ingredients and also for gathering at with your morning coffee. Filled with character and charm, the lounge has exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a warming wood burner to help you relax and get cosy. Light floods in through the patio doors and the snug rug is perfect for those with paws to settle on and start snoring. After BBQ feasts in the enclosed garden, let your pup enjoy time on the lawn before heading inside to drift off. The second bedroom resides on a quirky mezzanine and both rooms invite you to enjoy a peaceful sleep.
Stroll into Torrington and pick up goodies from the weekly market before packing up a picnic and heading out. The Tarka Trail is perfect for dog walks, cycles and pitstops at tasty eateries, so work up an appetite before tucking in. Jump in the car and head to the coast for a beach day, Sandymere (10 miles) is the dog-friendly stretch of sand at Westward Ho! and is a surfers’ paradise or you could wander the dog-friendly section of beach at Instow (9 miles) and savour a local ice cream.
