Enjoy peace and tranquility at this delightful single storey property set in one acre of established gardens. You will look forward to returning to this haven after exploring the North Devon coastline.

North Devon is a top-dog destination for any staycation thanks to its magnificent coastline, breathtaking landscape and charming array of friendly towns and fishing villages. This gem of a property sleeps four guests along with two canine companions, enjoying a unique location just 7 miles from Bideford so you’ll be within sniffing distance of dog-friendly shorelines and exciting countryside walks. Relax in style after a busy day, warming your cockles by the wood burner with a glass of wine in hand.

Kick-off your walking boots and wipe those muddy paws before stepping inside to find a cosy and traditionally styled haven. The open-plan living space is bright and comfortable, made all the more special by a feature open fire and double aspect windows. Cook up a storm in the generously equipped kitchen whilst Fido watches in hopeful anticipation, then gather around the dining table to feast together. Soothe tired bones with a soak in the family bathroom, retiring to one of two elegant bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep. Outside, the decked area is a peaceful place to perch with your morning coffee as you admire the surrounding gardens, which you are welcome to explore. There is ample off-road parking for three cars, and the property has a private water supply.

Set off for a day of adventures, heading to the dog-friendly Northam Burrows, 9.5 miles away, or frolicking in the waves of Mouthmill Beach, which can be reached by walking through Brownsham Woods, 8 miles away. Hire bikes and a canine trailer in Bideford to explore on two wheels along the Tarka Trail, marvelling at the views of the estuary. The charming coastal village of Instow, 10.5 miles away, is worth a pit stop, where you can pick up some delicious homemade produce from the popular deli.

A perfect place to get away from it all. I loved my stay at this beautiful and comfortable cottage. The setting is idyllic, with a wonderful private garden that was ideal for my dog. The owners could not have been more helpful, but also gave me space to enjoy the quiet and calm serenity of this very special cottage. I will definitely be back!
