Dog-friendly cottages in Barnstaple

Pet-friendly holiday accommodation in Barnstaple

Sat upon the banks of the River Taw, Barnstaple is the largest town in North Devon. A handy transport hub, with shops and restaurants galore, Barnstaple is also a very pleasant place to wander about. There is a handful of dog-friendly parks in the centre of town too including Rock Park, at the riverside and Castle Green by Barnstaple Library. The Tarka Trail snakes through the town entering from Braunton in the northwest of the town and after crossing the new river bridge it makes its way out to Instow and Bideford on the south bank of the river. The Tarka Trail is a great place to cycle and go for a walk. Head up to the summit of the mighty Codden Hill, where you can see for miles around.
