Ripe for the picking, this inviting cottage at Appledore is perfect for four holidaymakers and two of their happy hounds. Spend your days on some of Devon’s finest sandy beaches or put your feet up in your enclosed garden, with your canine companions also savouring the outside space and fresh air.
Upstairs at your former fisherman’s cottage, the master bedroom looks out over charming Appledore and across the water to Instow. Two additional bedrooms are also on this floor, with one opening on to the private rear garden. Your main accommodation is at ground-floor level, however, where a handy side door is ideal for welcoming home those members of your party who might have sandy paws and salty fur. Light the wood burner to warm them up after a cool dip or a brisk winter walk, while you switch on your Smart TV or watch a film. The bright kitchen/diner gives you the option of sitting down to home-cooked meal if you choose and its washing machine means you can rinse out your doggy towels as you need to when the weather is inclement. On warm days, however, those with two and four legs can make the most of the garden, pulling up a chair, firing up the BBQ or catching a ball or two in the glorious Devon sunshine.
Your cosy home in the heart of the village will give you access to some superb coastal and countryside excursions with your best furry friends. Explore Northam Burrows Country Park, with its footpaths and wide sandy beach where energetic legs can enjoy a good stretch. Take a 2.5-mile walk to the coastal village of Westward Ho! or find pubs in Appledore itself where dogs are as welcome as you are to lap up the scenery over a refreshing drink.
