Property code: OC-60430

Experience an idyllic stay on the North Devon coast, letting both pets and children play amongst never-ending outdoor space and inside the cosy, two-storey cottage. Designed to accommodate any pet-friendly family, the property hosts four guests and two dogs. Whilst your pooches will love eagerly watching the grazing livestock as it passes by the farmland and estate, your children will adore getting stuck into the shared outdoor play area and heated swimming pool. Whilst pets must be kept on leads in all the shared spaces the grounds have to offer, you’ll find a devoted exercise field and the beach close by for letting Rover run free.

Inviting from the moment you step foot (or paw) inside, this snug cottage is a real home-from-home. On the ground floor, an open-plan living area with a lounge, kitchen and diner invites human guests and furry friends to feel instantly welcome. Cook up a delicious dinner in the compact kitchen and sit down together, ensuring you save a scrap or two for your pups to savour. Upstairs, two bedrooms encourage excellent nights of sleep, and a bathroom is on hand for getting ready for the day. Outside, there’s no private outdoor space but plenty of areas to unwind in the sun, including a BBQ area with picnic benches to dine outdoors.

Westward Ho! Beach is a marvellous Devonshire beauty spot that’s just 1.5 miles from home. With some pet restrictions, you can let your four-pawed pals run free anywhere on the sand throughout the off-season or in the zone by Sandymere (2 miles) throughout peak summer months. For a beach with absolutely no canine confines, visit Peppercombe Beach around 5.5 miles away. For walkies that lead away from the coastline, head to Bideford (2.5 miles) to embark on a walking trail along the River Torridge or the traffic-free Tarka Trail.

We stayed in Elderberry (oak) cottage for a week and had the best time. The cottage has everything you need and in a great location. Its literally a 5 minute drive to the beach. The pool is a very welcome addition and the beds are comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Good location for travelling around the local area and days out. Nice little spot too and good to have kids play equipment. Cottage was basic but had everything we need and, most importantly, was very clean!

Becky is very welcoming, helpful and quick to respond to any requests. We enjoyed the lovely clean pool, climbing frame, BBQ and fire pit. Our son loved saying hello to the ducks and hens. The reading garden is a real haven and an unexpected treat. Plenty of great beaches nearby and the Tarka Trail for walking and cycling. Thank you for a lovely stRead moreay. Hide

Lovely accommodation and the grounds were so well looked after and so clean and tidy. Swimming pool was lovely, secure and private. Went with husband and 2 kids, 8 and 11 yrs, and loads for them to do near by.
