Step straight out from this splendid holiday home to explore the 69 acres of its shared grounds with your faithful friend. Follow footpaths that your dog will adore through woodland and meadows then return to take the children to the indoor swimming pool or playground. This one-bedroom, first-floor apartment is set within an exquisite, Grade II-listed building near Ashford, 2 miles from Barnstaple in Devon, and is ideal for anyone wishing to holiday with their four-legged companion.

Climb the stairs up to the first floor and enter to find a comfortable lounge/diner which acts as the heart of this lovely retreat. Unwind in here in front of the TV after busy days out while Fido stretches out on the carpet and daydreams about all his holiday adventures. There is a fold-out bed in here for two guests and a table for dining at. The kitchen offers everything you need to help you cater for your party and there’s space to feed your pet too.

Your dog will also prick his ears up at the expectation of a hike out along the famous Tarka Trail, a 180-mile walking and cycling route that runs close by. Enjoy days out at the beach that all the family, including four-legged members, will enjoy. Spend time at beautiful Saunton Sands, 7 miles away, where happy hounds can bound and play at any time of year without restriction, and you can also pick up the South West Coast Path.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Upcott House. The Tracy apartment was well equipped with comfortable beds, a good shower & provided a wonderful view, whatever the weather. The pool was a fantastic addition for my children. We certainly hope to return again.

I cannot recommend this amazing place highly enough. A pure gem of a place and will certainly be back. The accommodation was spotless and tastefully decorated and the views from our window were breath-taking. We would not hesitate in recommending this beautiful place to all our family and friends they will not be disappointed. It certainly is a verRead morey dog friendly place with acres of land to run around in and exercise. We didnt take advantage this time of the lovely, heated swimming pool although we were very tempted, but we were too busy exploring the stunning surrounding countryside and coastal walks nearby. All in all, 10/10 in our opinion. Thank you to homeowners for your splendid hospitality. Hide
