Enjoy a getaway with your friends, family and four-legged friends at this charming cottage on the North Devon Coast, an idyllic spot for dog-friendly holidays. Boasting open-plan living and facilities within the cottage complex which include a pup exercise area, shared outdoor swimming pool and play facilities for children, there's something to please guests on four legs as well as two. What's more, the South West Coast Path is easily accessible within half a mile of your doorstep for invigorating walks at all times of the year.

The open-plan living space has been designed with socialising in mind with plenty of space on the sofas and rugs to ensure humans and hounds can relax in comfort. Decorated in calming hues of blue and bright white, the modern updates seamlessly blend with the traditional features including exposed beams to create a cosy, characterful room. When it's time to dine, the kitchen has been finished to a high standard, paired with an eight-seater dining table. For a restful night's sleep, you'll find two delightful bedrooms simply decorated with a comfortable double bed and twin beds on the first floor. A modern shower room completes the floor. Up a second set of stairs you'll find a further double and twin room with great views and access to the family bathroom. At the front of the property is a small gravelled garden, whilst there is plenty of space to socialise and entertain elsewhere on site, be it in the shared BBQ area, by the 40ft pool or in the children's play area.

Beach-loving hounds will be in heaven with the selection of paw-friendly beaches in this part of Devon, with Instow (5 miles), Saunton (18 miles) and Woolacombe (22 miles) amongst some of the most popular. Pay a visit to Hartland Quay (18 miles) for a clifftop walk and you can make your way to Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall, a picturesque picnic spot, or visit the car-free harbour village of Clovelly to descend the cobbled streets admiring the awe-inspiring views before stopping off at the pub for a bite to eat.

Had a great two weeks in this property and loved it, so comfortable and relaxing. Having the pub/restaurant next door is a bonus as you dont have to drive anywhere sometimes. Would highly recommend staying there.

Lovely cottage with a great area for dog to play, park was very nice. Swimming pool was a great feature and was used a lot over the visit. Out of the way, which was great, but also a pub a couple of minutes walk

Lovely little secluded farm based house. It was clean, tidy and had a homely feel. Nice sized pool and kids play area. We felt well accommodated and well looked after by the owner, it is only a short drive (with small kids) or you could walk to town. Very peaceful, with a pub just round the corner.
