This charming cottage is perfectly positioned between coast and countryside, pleasing hounds who love to splash in the sea and those who enjoy a rural walking trail. With excellent amenities for little ones, the North Devon retreat is ideal for large family groups who want to get away from it all without leaving furry friends behind.

Hang the leads in the porch/boot room of this welcoming escape, and head into the utility room to store pet food. From here, the open-plan living space welcomes you for rest and relaxation, perhaps with a film on the Smart TV as your four-pawed pals snooze by the wood burner. For quiet moments you have the alternative of the cosy snug, too. The excellent kitchen offers all the facilities the cook will need, including an American-style fridge/freezer. There's a beautiful wooden dining table, as well as a breakfast bar for informal snacks. When you feel tired, you'll find all four charming bedrooms upstairs, all but one of the twins boasting a Smart TV. The king-size and double bedrooms both have en-suite shower rooms, while the twin bedrooms share a family bathroom. On the 18-acre site there are plenty of places to pop your canine companions on the lead and head out for a stroll (please be aware that there may be livestock nearby), while humans will enjoy the shared indoor swimming pool, sauna, hot tub and games room. You'll have private parking for one car.

Within 3 miles, both Broadsands Beach and Hele Bay are great places to take Rover for a run on the sand when the tide's out - bearing in mind that Broadsands is accessed via more than 200 steps. Alternatively, get close to nature and experience stunning scenery in the Exmoor National Park, 5 miles.

The farmhouse is beautiful and has lovely views. Good parking immediately outside for one car and large car park nearby for other cars. We had a great week exploring the local area and beaches. there was a small garden with a picnic bench and small barbecue. Good cooking facilities.

The property was extremely spacious and very clean. It was an ideal venue as a number of beaches and attractions were within a 30 minute drive and the list of places to eat was very helpful. The use of the indoor pool and games room was a real bonus especially when holidaying with young children. A lovely place to stay, I would happily stay in thisRead more house again. Hide

A spacious and comfortable house ideally suited to our extended family group. The boot room was excellent for our 2 dogs. Good location for easy access around the coast. Swimming pool and amenities were superb, clean and well maintained.
