Sitting on a quiet farm, just a 2.5-mile drive from the dog-friendly beach of Instow, this charming barn conversion is perfect for families of four and their beloved pooch to enjoy a peaceful holiday at the coast. This characterful property has plenty of space for humans and hounds to unwind after long afternoons of playing ball in the pooch exercise field.
You'll find home comforts in this cosy cottage, decorated in muted tones and with characterful features for a truly relaxing experience. Pad your paws into the kitchen/diner to discover classic farmhouse cabinets and all the equipment needed to create culinary excellence. Snuggly nights await you in the warm and inviting lounge, where dozing dogs can nap in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire while their two-legged friends catch a film on the TV. When you want to watch the world go by, sip mugs of tea in the garden, where nature can be seen in every direction, or give your four-legged friend a run in the handy exercise field. At bedtime, a king-size bedroom with an additional single bed is ideal for couples with a young child, while upstairs, an impressive four-poster bed makes the perfect slumber for weary heads. A family shower room completes the upstairs.
Pack your beach towels and a few doggie treats, and head 2.5 miles to the pretty coastline of Instow. Pampered pooches can enjoy a stroll along the front and finish off with a bowl of water outside one of the many beachfront pubs. Across the water, Appledore (7 miles or a seasonal foot-ferry trip) is well worth a visit thanks to its colourful houses, cobbled streets and mini supermarket serving locally sourced fare. Other family attractions include the seaside resort of Westward Ho! (7 miles), where you can run your pup on the Northam Burrows or spend the day at The Big Sheep (7 miles).
