This terrace cottage sleeps four guests in two bedrooms, with a warm welcome to three canine companions. Set in the historic seaport of Bideford in North Devon, it’s perfectly placed for surfing pals and salty dogs who love to be by the sea. Looking across the estuary, you’ll spot Instow beach (4 miles), Appledore (3 miles), and Bideford from your idyllic retreat, and the Torridge Bridge is nearby (1.5 miles) so you can enjoy the best of adventures on both banks. From the enclosed garden, step out to the South West Coast Path. You’ll find parking available for one car, while shops, pubs, and eateries are within walking distance.
Step inside your holiday home which has wonderful sea views and open-plan style. Unwind in the cosy living area where there’s a Smart TV, cosy seating and a warming wood burner, the favourite place for your hounds to relax. Family meals are a breeze with everything you need close to hand. When sleepy heads nod, venture upstairs where you’ll find a family bathroom and two stylish bedrooms, there’s also a handy WC downstairs. Morning coffees are a pleasure with the high end coffee machine, and French doors leading out to the enclosed garden where there’s a BBQ patio for al fresco dining.
You’ll find long-distance walking and cycling trails right on your doorstep, including The Tarka Trail, a largely traffic-free dog-friendly route where you can stop off for lunch at dog-friendly Fremington Quay cafe. Greenfingered guests will be inspired by the sustainable kitchen gardens at dog-friendly Tapeley Park (3.5 miles). For seafaring adventures, board the MS Oldenburg for day trips to Lundy, a fascinating island teeming with seabirds and wildlife. Or head further along the coast and discover the golden sands of Westward Ho!, a seaside resort named after a book.
