Escape to the seaside with your canines in tow with a break at this beautiful cottage on the North Devon Coast. 5 miles away you'll find the dog-friendly sands of Instow, as well as access to the picturesque Tarka Trail which is sure to set tails wagging. Finished to a high standard with a calming coastal colour palette, the interiors encourage you to kick back and relax, whilst outside you'll be able to make the most of the shared outdoor swimming pool.

At the heart of the home is the pretty open-plan living room/diner with wood-panelled walls, two sumptuous sofas and a wood burner effect electric fire for added warmth where your hound will love curling up on the rug for a snooze. Painted beamed ceilings add character to the room paired with a rich shade of blue reflecting the seaside location. In the corner of the room you'll find the dining table seating four, brightly lit by the large window. Adjoining the space is the chic kitchen in monochrome colours, equipped with all you'll need to fix up meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take the staircase to the first floor to find the two bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one features dual-aspect windows and a delightful double bed, and bedroom two has twin beds, ideally suited to children. Within the complex of cottages you'll have access to the shared swimming pool and children's play area for additional entertainment.

For beach-loving hounds, there are a section of sandy shores locally to tour, including Saunton (X miles) and Woolacombe (x miles). For a charming day out, visit the car-free village of Clovelly (x miles) and explore the cobbled streets and mighty coastal views before stopping off at the pub for a bite to eat. You can also explore Hartland Heritage Coast whilst in the area, with rugged cliff top walks which are sure to please those on four legs as well as two.

Lovely cottage, farm is tidy and clean with a pool on site that we used most days. Beach is a 10 min drive to the dog friendly area and this is a fabulous, clean, sandy, beach. Pub next door does a great Sunday roast too.

A nice clean quiet cottage this is a very short walk from the local pub with a restaurant and a nice enclosed little garden for the dog. Easy to book and a pool is available in the warmer months. I would say although it sleeps 4 the downstairs area is more suited to two adults two children rather than four adults especially if they have dogs too.

The cottages are lovely clean and well cared for, the gounds kept spotless. One or bulbs gone, i am sure had we raised it the owners would have resolved imediately, however it wasnt an issue to us. The pool area is lovely, well maintained and as dogs are allowed in the area makes it so much easier when travelling with a furry member of the family.

This is a nice quote location the children loved the pool but it was very cold so didnt stay in long. The cottage was nice clean and good size for family of four. We were disappointed with very small fridge and freezer was a small box at top no dish washer. Great value for money with this property. Not a very personal approach but appreciate there Read moreare several cottages on this property. Westward ho is 5 mins drive with beach arcades and lovely places to eat. Hide
