  • A few steps from the Tarka Trail where you can enjoy traffic free walking and cycling while exploring the rugged North Devon coastline
Property code: OC-79552

Set tails wagging with an unforgettable staycation in charming Bideford, a destination known for it’s proximity to golden sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages and dramatic landscapes popular with tufty-pawed explorers. Enjoying a fabulous waterside location, this stylish property is brimming with home comforts, offering cosy sleeping quarters for six humans and four hounds.

Boasting both indoor and outside spots that are perfectly tailored for socialising, this impressive holiday accommodation is guaranteed to delight your entire pack. Summer afternoons call for delicious BBQ treats and a spot of fishing over the river wall, and on chilly evenings, you could light the gas-effect fire in the lounge and curl up with Fido at your feet and a glass of wine in hand. Feast like kings in the gorgeous kitchen/diner, transforming locally sourced ingredients into slap-up breakfasts and decadent dinners, tantalising taste buds with the glorious smells. At bedtime, choose from three elegant bedrooms, including a master suite complete with an en-suite shower room and a balcony overlooking the river. Completing the property is an impressive downstairs bathroom and an upstairs shower room.

Handily located for exploring the dog-friendly shores of North Devon, you’ll be well placed for adventure. Instow 3.5 miles away has a pretty stretch of beach, two pubs and a fabulous deli serving homemade delights. Across the water is Appledore, an equally enchanting place to visit with a plethora of independent shops and eateries. The seaside resort of Westward Ho!, 3.5 miles away, is the ultimate family-friendly hotspot for traditional amusements and seaside fare, but Northam Burrows, 4 miles, will prove irresistible for your canine companion.

Unfortunately, the owner was not aware of this prior to you bringing it to his attention. By reporting this the owner was able to investigate the issues and try his best to offer solutions for you to enjoy the rest of your stay. Sadly, he wasnt able to complete this during stay, but he is happy to advise that the problems are now resolved. Hide

We had a lovely 3 night stay here. 6 adults and 4 dogs. There was plenty of room and everything we needed in the way of equipment. I was a little concerned regarding the fence at the bottom of the garden as we have a smaller size terrier but it was perfectly safe for him and the other dogs
