This classic seaside cottage is situated in the curiously charming parish of Ilfracombe, perfectly equipped in both stylish accommodation and location to give you a memorable holiday with your family and two canine companions. Take a walk down to the harbour 500m away and enjoy the refreshing coastal breeze, as well as view Damien Hirst’s statue Verity. Scenic walks, shops and dog-friendly pubs are right on your doorstep in this lively town.

This property, spread over three floors, sleeps four people across two bedrooms and has plenty of living space to accommodate you and your hounds. The contemporary kitchen/diner is the hub of the cottage, while the cosy lounge with a wood burner-effect electric fire and stylish decor is the perfect place to kick back and relax with your family and four-pawed pals. The two bright bedrooms capture the calm of the seaside with contemporary touches throughout this comfortable cottage. While there is not a designated outdoor area with this property, there are plenty of places to walk your canines when they need, as we know your hound is just as important as any human.

Ilfracombe is known for its incredible hills, such as Hillsborough’s Sleeping Elephant, which is an exciting walk for any four-pawed friend. If your dogs prefer running freely by the shore, there are several beautiful beaches within 10 miles, for example the lovely village of Woolacombe, which also has dog-friendly places to eat. For a great day out, why not take the family to Arlington Court, a 19th-century country house with splendid gardens and carriage museum that both you and your hounds can explore. Adventure awaits in this characterful area of Devon, and vibrant landscapes beg you and your canine companion to leave no stick unfetched.

The cottage is ideally located by the harbour. The pub opposite was very noisy until quite late on the Friday and Saturday night, but quiet on other nights. The cost for the car park is 56, if you arrive on the Friday or Saturday night Payne via the app as the town council office to buy a weekly ticket isn't open until Tuesday.

Everything was lovely, a real home from home. If you're partial to an early night, watch out for the late closing nights at the pub opposite, in the summer, when your windows are open - very noisy!

An antislip bath mat would be good.
