Overview
Property code: 62965

Soak up the sunshine with Fido at your feet on your private terrace in picturesque Appledore. Take in the views out across the Taw and Torridge estuary as four guests and two four-legged friends tuck into breakfast before a walk along one of the many beautiful dog-friendly beaches in the area. It is also worth noting that additional canine companions could also join you by prior arrangement.

Your typical fishing village cottage is a bright, inviting holiday home from which to explore this corner of Devon. Brush off sandy paws and step inside to find a comfortable lounge where you can watch TV while your best furry friends stretch out and dream about their adventures on the beach. Prepare a meal in your inviting kitchen area while other members of your party lay the table or turn on the wood burner-effect gas fire to bring a pleasant glow to the open-plan space. On summer evenings, take your pals for a stroll before bed or relax outside with them on your raised decked area, sipping a sundowner and watching the boats out on the water. When you are ready to turn in, head up the steep stairs to discover two comfortable bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Your surroundings in pretty Appledore offer everything from boutiques and galleries to dog-friendly pubs with magnificent views. Explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a circular 6.5-mile walk from the village around the Northam Burrows Country Park. This includes a beach and takes in a pub where your canine companions are as welcome as you. Just 2.5 miles from your cottage, the renowned coastal village of Westward Ho! is also worth visiting and is a gateway to another section of beautiful sandy beach.
