No dog gets left behind when you stay in this lovely Devonshire property, an attractive space welcoming up to four of your canine companions. Boasting views over the River Torridge and dog-friendly beaches just a short distance away, this traditional country cottage is a wonderful base for a holiday filled with plenty of pet-friendly pursuits. Not just a place for the dogs to call their own, the accommodation welcomes six human guests to stay across three inviting double bedrooms, perfect for your whole pack of family or friends.

Country cottage interiors await in this instantly welcoming two-storey space. Step inside to be greeted by a kitchen/diner, a sociable hub of the house where meals can be served up for man and dog alike. Find a lounge and a snug/kids games room on the ground floor, each presenting comfy seating and Smart TVs. Whilst both rooms are equally comfortable, we’re sure your dogs will favour the warm lounge with an open fire to curl up in front of. Let sleeping dogs like right here as you wander up a traditional staircase to three double bedrooms, one served by an en-suite and the others served by a family bathroom. Finally, Step outside and take in the river views from the front patio, unwind in the hot tub, or wander up to the hilly rear fire-pit area, where you’ll be rewarded with superb views across the valley. The front patio also offers two comfortable outdoor seating areas close to the kitchen, ideal for al fresco dining. Adjoined by a charcoal BBQ and a grass lawn, it’s a wonderful space to wine, dine, and enjoy those glowing sunsets with friends and family. Continue further to a dedicated, secluded garden workspace located at the top of the garden, offering spectacular views over the Weare Gifford Valley. This inviting space features a cosy log burner, two comfortable armchairs, a desk with printer access, a desk lamp with phone charger, and a tea and coffee making station. It’s the perfect spot for remote working, yoga or pilates, or simply relaxing while warming by the fire and enjoying the view.

Set off and explore Devonshire countryside adventures from your doorstep, always plotting your route home via the local village pub (less than 300 metres) for a pint of locally produced cider. Leave no stick unfetched along the River Torridge leading right up to Bideford (4.5 miles) and Appledore beyond (7 miles).

This is a 5 star home, its beautiful and immaculate. Have never stayed in a place that has thought of every detail, from dog treats, to new toothbrushes to beach towels. All the little touches made it feel extra homely. The views from the house are incredible, and the location is so peaceful. Can not recommend this enough, we never return to placesRead more as love exploring but for this place we would make and exception. Hide

Wonderful property. Everything we needed and more. Hot tub was great even in March. The local pub in the village is welcoming and excellent value. The welcome pack is way over and above the usual offerings. Dog loved being able to go in the garden and we knew she couldnt escape. Definitely recommend it .
