Property code: 75574

This semi-detached cottage, and the location, is a paradise for families and friends with dogs; 3.5 miles of sand at Saunton Beach, where you and the pups can go chasing waves, is just 2 miles away. Also, the Tarka Trail goes through the village of Braunton so each day can begin with an exploratory dog walk. This pretty, thatched cottage has a superb contemporary kitchen/diner, which is a visually striking addition to this Grade II-listed house. Your whole tribe will have a chic, sophisticated hub to hang out in while your dogs can enjoy direct access to the garden.

The fabulous wooden floors have underfloor heating and two 'real effect' electric fires, which helps keep paws and toes toasty warm in the cooler months, while bright interior design and classic furnishings give an air of spacious contemporary living. If you can prise yourselves away from the expansive kitchen, sink into the sofas in the lounge and choose a movie for everyone to enjoy. The bedrooms are timeless and the cottage windows offer the gentle pleasure of English garden views. Outside, you can light the BBQ and relax with a bottle of wine and some good company, and live the dog’s life.

Braunton Burrows has a stunning coastline and is 3 miles away; the area is cleverly zoned to separate breeding livestock from playful dogs. Or take the South West Coast Path from Croyde (4 miles), across the spectacular headland to Baggy Point, a 3-mile walk. Further afield, Woolacombe (7 miles) offers a cosmopolitan array of boutiques, bars and restaurants. Or you may enjoy a gentle stroll to one of the many pubs in Braunton for a drink for you and a treat and ear rub for your faithful hound.

Wonderful cottage, full of charm and ideal location. The garden was a perfect spot to chill out after being out to the wonderful beaches, especially Saunton Sands.

Great layout and a well maintained property throughout with modern amenities including TV, Garden and Kitchen. Great location for shopping in Braunton with Saunton and Croyde beaches nearby. We travelled with three kids under five and the support from the owners with cots and chairs was excellent. Be sure to try a Thai takeaway from the Siam BistroRead more in Braunton! Hide

We have stayed in many many properties in the U.K. and this was the hardest to leave! The property is amazing and has both a modern look whilst older features are kept. The development has been done very well. There were a few issues with items needing to be fixed so I hope the owners take it on board. The garden is very secure & my 3 dogs were ablRead moree to enjoy themselves. Nice shower/sofas/tv/dining area/parking. Close to shops whilst feeling remote. Broken raised decking to be careful of.

Fabulous cottage with every eventuality catered for. So spacious as to give privacy where it might be needed with 8 people. The hub of the house is definitely the kitchen diner: light and airy with fabulous views of the beautifully kept large garden. Braunton has a good range of shops, cafes and pubs: literally along the road from the cottage. The Read moresurrounding area is relatively flat so good for strolling. The beach at Saunton is perfect for surfing, swimming and dog walking. Thank you Hide
