Stay at this charming refurbished barn for a relaxed trip to Devon with your dog by your side. Take long walks through countryside, along clifftops or across pretty beaches by day, followed by leisurely dinners and quality family time in the evenings. The house sleeps up to six with one dog welcome too, so is ideal for families or groups of friends keen to include their pet in the holiday fun.
This two-storey house has plenty of space, with an open-plan kitchen/diner which is perfect for cooking, eating and drawing up a rough plan for tomorrow. In the spacious lounge, stretch out on the sofa to watch an episode of your favourite series on the Smart TV – the children can play a board game on the carpet while Lola dozes contentedly nearby. The enclosed garden has a seating area – on mild evenings, make up some dips and salads and take them outside for some fresh-air dining. From here, there’s a gate leading onto the village playground – great if you’ve got children in your party.
When it’s time to take your Welsh terrier, Alsatian or pug on a long workout, head to Great Torrington (5 miles) where you can join the popular Tarka Trail. This former railway line is now a cycling and walking path taking in wooded river valleys, dramatic coastline and rugged moorland that you can explore together. She’ll also go mutts for the sandy beaches at Westward Ho! (12 miles) where she can bury stones in the sand to her heart’s content. Or wander down the cobbled streets of Clovelly (13 miles) before tucking into a cream tea at one of the village’s dog-friendly cafes.
