Families and two of their four-legged pals are well placed to explore North Devon’s stunning coastline and countryside with a stay at this attractive white-washed four-bedroom bungalow. The property itself has plenty to keep you entertained whatever time of year you visit as it features a hot tub, state-of-the-art BBQ hut, games room and a large garden for those with a nose for adventure.
The property is elegantly decorated in calming neutral colours, and many of the rooms have lovely views of the garden. The light-filled lounge is an inviting place to spend your downtime, and the cute pictures on the walls make it feel very welcoming for dog owners. Curl up in front of the warming wood burner and catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV while the furry ones have a nap. The kitchen has a large dining table for family gatherings, while the utility room is handy for storing your pets’ belongings. A large enclosed garden surrounds the property, offering a mix of lawns and patio areas. There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy a BBQ in the summer sun or you can relax in the private hot tub with a glass of bubbly. The garage has even been converted into a games room with dartboard and pool table.
Enjoy a slice of authentic Devonshire life in Bideford (8 miles), with its traditional pannier market and independent shops. Excitable hounds can scamper along the riverside, taking in the views, before stopping for a bowl of water in one of the dog-friendly cafes and pubs that line the quay. Westward Ho! (7 miles) and Instow (10 miles) have stretches of sand for pups to bound across but check whether restrictions are in place before letting them loose.
