Get a dose of luxury in this New England style, reverse living house, ideal for a group of friends, a family or even a couples’ retreat (plus canine companions of course). Three large bedrooms, open-plan living area, and stylish vintage-meets-modern interior provide an indulgent basecamp, just half a mile’s stroll to the Westward Ho! Beach. So you can wander back after a day of amusements, swimming, golf, and fetch.
Three spacious, sumptuous bedrooms — one double, one king, and one super-king — greet you as you enter the peaceful lower floor. All three could be the master bedroom and what’s more, two en-suite and one main bathroom mean that everyone can be ready to head down to the beach at the same time. Upstairs is your social, open living space. Cosy up around the wood burner or enjoy the sea air on your balcony. But the best part of this house might be the outdoor area. The large enclosed garden is ideal for a couple of pups to safely shake off their swim, plus you have your very own hot tub on the patio, so you can watch them in style.
Situated on the North Devon coast, Westward Ho! is a seaside village in every sense. A wide, 2-mile beach is ideal for dogs to run and wade. Shops offer traditional fish and chips and beach toys. Return home with new skills by signing up for surfing lessons — there are several surf schools to choose from along the beachfront. The town of Bideford, 2.5 miles south, offers a range of restaurants, shops, and a quaint pannier market with artisan traders in a covered Victorian building. And kids and adults alike will love the Milky Way Adventure Park, a 12-mile trip along the coast.
