A simply stunning five-star property sleeping up to 14 guests and two dogs, this property is proof that just because you are travelling with dogs you don’t need to forgo style and luxury. You could easily spend your days relaxing in the garden, playing in the games room, or luxuriating in the hot tub. There is plenty to see and do in the area, from fabulous beaches and picturesque harbour villages to excellent walks along the South West Coast Path.

From the games room, with its pool table and table tennis, to the bubbling hot tub; the owners of this property have clearly put a lot of thought into making your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. There are two separate lounges, the first with a TV and doors out to the patio. The second offers a TV/DVD with Sky channels, Netflix and Disney+, and is adjoined to the light and bright conservatory seating area. One of the seven bedrooms, a double room with an en-suite shower, is located on the ground floor, whilst the further six bedrooms can be found upstairs. In addition to the large lawn, patio seating area and hot tub, there is also a fabulous all-weather BBQ hut.

Set just across the River Torridge from the harbour town of Bideford, it is an easy half-a-mile walk across the bridge to the town centre, where there is a range of shops and places to eat. Head out on walks along the river with your canine companion at your side, perhaps heading north to the twin waterside villages of Instow and Appledore (3.5 miles). Alternatively, jump in the car and make your way to the beaches of Westward Ho! (4 miles) or Saunton Sands (16 miles).

We would highly recommend this property for its location and river views, layout, facilities and equipment. Great kitchen dinner for seating and communal card games. Secure rear garden ideal for all sizes of dog. Owner close-by ensures the high standard of cleanliness when first walking into the property after changeover. As a grandparents of a larRead morege mobile family we would go back in the future, before the mobility scooters are needed to cross the busy A road to the TARKA trail. Hide

We had a fabulous family holiday at Anchor House. The house is in a great location and is well equipped for a large family. Lovely spacious accommodation with added benefit of the hot tub, which our grandchildren loved. Would definitely recommend. The Tarka Trail is ideal for walking & cycling, great for all ages.

What an amazing place Anchor House is! We had a fabulous time. The brochure doesn't really show how big it is. Loads of space for 12 of us without being on each other's toes. Superbly equipped. Warm and cosy. TV with Sky - including Sky Sports!!!!!! (massive tick!) 20-25 mins walk into Bideford along a flat/paved path off the road. Loads of parkingRead more. This is a highly recommended property. Pool table could do with a little TLC but that's about the only negative and that's being picky. Hide

Twelve family members had a perfect time at Anchor House. The house is very spacious, with many areas to relax in and lovely comfy beds. The kitchen/diner is the best equipped we have ever had in a holiday home. We enjoyed the decking by the kitchen area, with the bbq hut, hot tub, tables and chairs, plus the gardens.
