Spread across three floors, all with lovely views, this quaint and comfortable cottage sleeps four guests and up to two canine companions. For a family wanting to explore the South Devon Coast with their dogs by their side, this is an ideal location for local attractions, beaches, and parks perfect for walks. Just down the street from the property there is also a dog-friendly pub with tasty treats behind the bar.
Enter the cottage and head straight down to the lower floor to prepare dinner in the kitchen. Eat all together in the dining room, with its exposed stone walls and French doors. Back on the ground floor, relax in the bright lounge with your hound stretched out as you watch a family film. After a soothing shower, get a good night’s rest in one of the first-floor bedrooms. As these are up a flight of open-tread stairs, your four-pawed pals may prefer their favourite blanket to be laid out in the lounge. Enjoy everything from drinks to leisurely brunches out on the enclosed patio, where Fido can bask in the sun while you admire the picturesque harbour views.
For walkies with stunning sea views and brisk sea air, let your pup take the lead around Berry Head National Nature Reserve and Lighthouse (1 mile). Follow the coast paths to see the lighthouse and Napoleonic fort, then bask in the sun with a cream tea at the dog-friendly cafe. Close by, down on the shore is St. Mary’s Bay Beach (1 mile). Dogs are allowed all-year-round, so curious canines can feel the sand in their paws and have a paddle in the waves. When you want an inland adventure, catch a ride on The Dartmouth Steam Railway from Churston Station (3 miles). Four-legged members of the family are welcomed aboard.
