Step back in time and relax with man’s best friend at your heels, staying in this charming 17th-century cottage in beautiful rural Devon. Complete with charming original features and the décor to match, this two-bedroom cottage happily sleeps four guests and two dogs on the walking trip of a lifetime. Dog-walkers aplenty are on offer in the local area, whether you’re challenging yourselves to the full 180-mile Tarka Trail or hoping to tootle along the South West Coast Path from one of the county’s most fantastic pup-friendly beaches. Wherever you may end up, this inviting cottage welcomes you home at the end of each day.
Let sleeping dogs lie in the ever-comfortable lounge, a wonderfully appointed space with an original wood burner to keep the room cosy and warm. Despite jostling for the top dog spot on the hearth, we're certain that both of your dogs will find somewhere cosy to snooze as you sink into the sofa and switch on the Smart TV. Step through into the kitchen where an old Rayburn adds to the charm of the place. From here you'll also find a handy utility room with washing/drying facilities, ideal for getting overused doggy towels clean. Finally, two bedrooms await on the first floor. Accessed via separate staircases, these king-size bedrooms offer a restful night's sleep ahead of adventure-packed days yet to come.
Have a ball when exploring the ever-changing scenery of Devon, setting off to explore the countryside around you or leaving no stick unetched along the remarkable coastline. Pack a picnic and venture into Exmoor (11.5 miles), perhaps heading to Lynmouth (19.5 miles) to follow The Two Moors Way throughout the National Park. From here you also have direct access to the South West Coast Path (16.5 miles), although for an undisturbed day at a dog-friendly beach we recommend heading to the wide sandy shores at Woolacombe (16 miles).
