Smart styling and home comforts come hand in hand at this beautiful Victorian terraced house in the 'Little White Town' of Bideford. Sleeping six people over four bedrooms and welcoming three faithful friends, it’s the ideal accommodation option for families or groups of friends who want to spend their days strolling around Bideford, Appledore, Instow and Clovelly, and their evenings chatting as their pups snooze by the cottage’s glowing wood burner.The property is also in close proximity to the fantastic Victoria Park, a great spot for kids to play and explore.

Step inside this smart house and make yourself at home. Head through to the stylish kitchen and cook up some dinner for your loved ones. Gather everyone around the large table in the dining room to eat. This lovely room has a welcoming wood burner for cooler evenings. Alternatively, if it’s warm outside, make your way out to the decked area, fire up the charcoal BBQ and enjoy an al fresco dinner as your pups run free in the enclosed space. After dinner, catch up on your favourite TV shows in the cosy living room while your pups stretch out in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire, or treat yourself to a glass of wine in the chic conservatory. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find three lovely bedrooms on the first-floor and one on the second-floor.

Your pups are going to love long walks at the dog-friendly beaches of Westward Ho! (3 miles) and Saunton Sands (17 miles). Alternatively, head to the unique, traffic-free fishing village of Clovelly (12 miles) for the day. Take the dogs for a walk down the cobbled main street to its ancient fishing harbour and 14th-century quay. There are a couple of nice dog-friendly pubs in this exceptionally pretty village if you fancy a pint and some pub grub.

The property was perfect for our needs and we had a very enjoyable stay. Having the park and museum in such close proximity was an added bonus.

I was slightly nervous going here after reading several reviews mentioning it was in need of updating and also damp but this must have been fixed, because the house was lovely - very cosy on a cold winter visit and some welcoming biscuits, tea and coffee and milk in the fridge which was appreciated. The location is very central in Bideford, a park Read morenearby which is great for kids, good sized kitchen and living areas so highly recommended. Hide

Lovely property, spacious and comfortable. Good communication with owner before and during stay. Great location, lovely park opposite to exercise dogs and walk into town. Supermarket nearby.

The house is in a beautiful spot opposite a park and close to beaches. We appreciated the welcome touches and helpful parking tips. However, cleaning could be improved and some maintenance issues, like doors not closing and a loose plug socket, need attention. The bathroom is tired, needs a deep clean, and the toilet seat needs fixing. With more caRead morere and regular upkeep, this could be a truly lovely and comfortable place to stay. Hide

I would recommend this cottage to everyone. We were three generations and a dog and had everything we needed. There was extra equipment in a cupboard for younger ones and our eight year old grandchild loved her pebbles room. The park is opposite, excellent for first and last walks of the day with the dog and is also so well equipped for children. TRead moreown and the quay are close by with access to the Tarka trail. We could not have had a more comfortable and easy Christmas to suit all family members. Hide

Whilst the fixtures match the picture, what you can't see is the damp and the remidal work that needs to be carried out. The property is shabby and doesn't seem to have had a good clean since the comments made in 2023. The damp means that it smells unpleasant and that mould has started to form in one of the bedrooms. The garden is not secure if youRead more have a larger dog as the fence is broken. Parking is residential so is restricted Monday to Saturday. The property isn't a 4 star rating. Hide
