A perfectly positioned property for exploring the unspoilt beaches of North Devon with your furry friends in tow. With outdoor space, a shared swimming pool and a cosy interior, come rain or shine, you can spend quality time with family and friends at this homely getaway.

Dust off sandy paws at the entrance to this single-storey cottage and enter the cottage with your happy hounds by your feet. Sip a hot drink whilst sinking into the sofa in the open-plan living space, or begin the preparations for dinner with your faithful companions following your every move. The kitchen is compact yet fully equipped for family-friendly meals, and the outside space has everything needed to enjoy al fresco dining with a view. You'll also find a shared BBQ out here. Say goodnight to your canine chums and head on through to the triple bedroom boasting a double and single bed. As the late risers awake from slumber, lead your energetic pups on a refreshing stroll through the surrounding 15 acres and drink in the stunning countryside views.

When you're not using the shared 40’ swimming pool or watching the kids on the play area, sniff out beach adventures down at Westward Ho! seafront, where you'll be met with 2 miles of golden sand, arcades, and sizeable portions of fish and chips. It's also one of North Devon's most popular surfing and swimming spots, should you wish to take a dip. The UK's longest pedestrianised cycle path, The Tarka Trail, boasts some of the finest countryside views in the country and passes pretty coastal villages as you go. This can be joined at Bideford (3 miles), famed for its picturesque quay, local produce and independent shops.

The cottage was very good. I had everything I needed. It was very peaceful and quiet and the bed was very comfortable. I was a little unwell when I was staying there and the owners were very helpful. Loved the peacock !

The cottage is beautiful, I cant wait to return, Jasper absolutely loved it and is incredibly sad that we have come home, as am I. Becky was an amazing host, so lovely and always pottering around doing bits of gardening.

A lovely cottage so peaceful . The cottage is well maintained with almost everything you might need for your holiday. The dogs appreciated the ball play field apart from the last day when the grass had been cut and the curly cockapoo finished up looking like a grass monster

Super property in a great location, close enough to amenities yet far enough away for peace and tranquil quiet. That said there's plenty to keep younger children entertained, great pool and play area and looking for Lady Gaga the peacock is good fun. Highly recommend this.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, but the outside area was fantastic, although we didn't see the pool area if was anything like the dog area and play ground, I am sure I would be impressed. It is very quiet and but there is plenty to do in the area, not far in a car.

We thoroughly enjoyed our break. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. It was great to have a dedicated space where our dog could be let off the lead.

Quite rural but still close to amenities with shops a short drive away or a steep walk up a narrow road. The cottages are really well equipped with everything we needed inside.
