Head to this stylish hideaway in Devon and take your family, friends and perfect pup with you. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat offers luxurious, single-storey living from its base on a Christmas tree farm. With magnificent views across undulating countryside, it is on the fringes of Marldon, 3 miles from Paignton. Well placed for day trips to dog-friendly beaches and forays into the Dartmoor National Park, it comes with a wood burner, hot tub and BBQ for those who simply wish to unwind in comfort with their contented canine close by.
Follow your four-legged friend inside to find contemporary accommodation with underfloor heating. At the heart of the bolthole is its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can relax and spend some quality canine time together. Light the wood burner to warm chilly paws, watch your favourite programmes on the Smart TV as your chum dozes and whip up hearty feasts for hounds and humans in the kitchen area. Slide open the patio doors to create seamless indoor-outdoor living on warm days. As eyelids begin to droop, bid your precious pal goodnight then amble off to one of the bedrooms. Both of these are king-size and one has zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as twins instead if discussed at booking. They each have an en-suite shower room and one has a Smart TV. Let your delighted dog stroll about the deck, while you bubble in the hot tub or light the BBQ. Take in the far-reaching views and sit outside on summer evenings as the stars appear.
Pack a picnic and a few dog treats and head 11 miles to the magnificent Dartmoor National Park, with its wealth of walks to keep tails wagging. Spend sunny days on the beach at Goodrington, 3.5 miles away, with its dog-friendly, northern section.
