The beautiful stone semi detached property benefits from a quiet rural location, perfect for escaping from it all with your nearest and dearest. The cottage sleeps six guests and two dogs, and you’ll be within easy reach of some fantastic walks, both at the coast, where you’ll find long sandy beaches and clifftop paths, and within the stunning Exmoor National Park (both less than 15 miles away). Family attractions such as The Big Sheep and The Milky Way are within 25 miles.
The 16th-century cottage is bursting with character and has been lovingly maintained to highlight the gorgeous original features. Exposed wood adds warmth to each area, particularly in the cosy lounge with its roaring wood burner – the perfect spot for the woofers to doze after a long walk. From the kitchen, a stable door opens onto the pretty garden which features a large lawned area and patio complete with BBQ and chiminea for al fresco dining. Being a traditional thatched property, expect to find some reduced head space in some areas, as well as cottage-style stairs leading to the bedrooms.
For spectacular views across Dartmoor and Exmoor, park the car in Bishop’s Tawton (3 miles away) and head up Codden Hill. Rising to 190 metres, it’s an excellent vantage point and guaranteed to get the heart beating. Afterwards, return to the village for a hearty meal in the popular dog-friendly pub. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dog-friendly beaches in North Devon. For the wow factor, journey 13 miles to Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows. With 3.5 miles of free-run sand, as well as a dramatic backdrop of sand dunes to explore, it’s an absolute haven for the hounds. It’s also a surfing hotspot and a real family favourite, with a row of colourful beach huts available to hire during the summer.
