Conveniently located in the heart of the bustling market town of Braunton, this charming holiday home is the ideal base for a couple or family looking to explore the coast and countryside of North Devon, accompanied by their loyal canine companion.
With its pretty window shutters and a delightful front garden full of country cottage flowers, this lovely home is a welcoming sight after a day of discovery. Put your feet up in the cosy living room and relax on the plush sofa seating whilst Fido snoozes in front of the warming wood burner set in a fantastic inglenook fireplace complete with a traditional bread oven. The smartly presented, modern kitchen/diner is the social hub of the home where everyone can help prepare a delicious meal or get involved with planning the next day''s activities gathered around the dining table. Alternatively, make the most of the suntrap patio garden''s outdoor furniture and dine alfresco on a warm summer evening while Rover safely explores the fully enclosed boundaries. When the time comes for bed or basket, two beautifully furnished bedrooms can be found on the first floor, one double and one twin room. The luxurious family bathroom completes the first floor with a corner bathtub perfect for soaking tired legs at the end of the day. There is also a playroom with a TV and games to give children a space of their own and a handy outbuilding offering space to store bikes and surfboards.
Step out the door and swing by one of Braunton’s dog-friendly cafes to fuel up before joining the Tarka Trail, which passes right through the town. This 180-mile, figure-of-eight loop is inspired by the route travelled by Tarka the Otter and takes in some of North Devon’s most spectacular countryside with plenty of exciting sights, sounds and smells for inquisitive hounds to investigate along the way. Saunton Sands is less than 3 miles from your door, where, apart from one small seasonal restriction zone, four-legged friends of all shapes and sizes can run freely year-round on 4 miles of sweeping shoreline. The National Trust’s Arlington Court (13 miles) is a Regency house with an impressive collection of horse-drawn vehicles set in a picturesque garden. The carriage museum, garden and wider estate are open to both people and pooches.
