Located in the pretty Devonshire village of Marldon, this sweet cottage is a great fit for couples, friends or small families holidaying with a dog. It places you perfectly for enjoying South Devon’s coast and countryside, with the seaside charm of Paignton just 3 miles away. During the summer season, you’ll have dog-friendly beaches at Goodrington Sands, Fairy Cove and Oyster Cove, all within 4 miles, opening up plenty of opportunities for sandy-pawed adventures.
This property has a reverse-level layout, with both the bedrooms downstairs – a beautifully styled king-size with an en-suite shower room, and an equally attractive double. Both have Smart TVs for those indulgent holiday lie-ins. A separate shower room with a walk-in shower and WC is also located on this level. Head upstairs to the open-plan living space, which is filled with natural light and designed for easy downtime with your pets. There’s cosy seating, a Smart TV, wooden accents and a decorative wood burner adding character. Sit down to meals in the dining area, sitting alongside the contemporary kitchen. From the lounge, a couple of external steps lead down to a paved courtyard with outdoor furniture – lovely for enjoying a drink in the fresh air while your pets laze about nearby. You’ll have private parking for two cars in the courtyard.
Nearby, head to pretty Brixham (7 miles) to wander its harbour and enjoy waterfront views. Totnes (5 miles) is another popular spot, with winding streets, independent shops and historic castle where dogs on leads can join you visiting the grounds and ruins. Got a super energetic one? Head to Dartmoor National Park (11 miles) where you’ll have wide open spaces and scenic trails galore, making for rewarding dog walks.
