This lovely period cottage sits right on the water’s edge, where the rivers Torridge and Taw pour into the wild Atlantic. Furry friends will adore the half-mile scamper into Appledore, where discerning noses will soon sniff out the quay’s quirky shops and the superb North Devon Maritime Museum. The majority of pubs in Appledore are dog-friendly and they’ll soon let you know their favourites. It’s 3 miles to the independent shops and restaurants of Bideford, 2 miles to the stunning dog-friendly beach at Northam, and a mile’s doggy paddle across the estuary to sweet little Instow (April-October). At Westward Ho!, play a round at the renowned Royal North Devon Golf Club, or ride wild waves at the Surf School, but check the latest bulletins for doggy accessibility!
Inside the property, you’ll find everything you need for a blissful seaside escape. Homely yet elegant, the house is a tranquil and thrilling base for your adventures. From almost every room, human and doggy eyes will never tire of the expansive and breathtaking estuarine and sea views. From the airy kitchen/diner, open the French doors onto the patio and bathe in the beauty beyond. You’ll find a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, perfect for those who have difficulty with stairs. There’s a nautical style to the cottage that energises and inspires, and a calmness that soothes at the end of exciting and invigorating days.
Further afield, find a new leash of life at gorgeous Clovelly (14 Miles), and some amazing beaches at Saunton (18 miles), Croyde (21 miles), Woolacombe and Ilfracombe (23 miles) - check seasonal dog restrictions. Putsborough (22 miles) is pure heaven. Explore the stunning South West Coast Path – the stretch from Buck’s Mills to Clovelly is beautiful. Set tails wagging on the Tarka Trail which passes through Instow and Bideford. Let the adventures begin!
