Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 8 - Appledore, Devon

With four bedrooms, four bathrooms and large sociable spaces, this property is big enough to accommodate up to eight people. It has plenty of wow factor with vaulted ceilings in the open-plan living space and floor-to-ceiling windows. As a large, bright house, it is a cheerful home for big get-togethers.

All bedrooms are comfortable too, while the outdoor space is south facing to make the most of the North Devon sun. For rainy days, the games room will keep guests easily entertained. The modern and stylish property has a well-thought-out design with contemporary interiors throughout.

It's got an upside-down layout with bedrooms on the ground floor, all of which have their own TV. Two of these rooms benefit from king-size beds which have en-suite shower rooms, while the final two bedrooms are twins - great for kids or friends who are happy to share. One twin has its own en-suite shower room and there's a large family bathroom.

Finally, on this floor, is a handy utility cupboard and a peaceful hallway with seating if you need some quiet time away from the rest of your group. Upstairs is the vast open-plan living area. It is flooded with natural light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling feature window in the living area.

There's a living-flame wall-mounted electric fire which can be as mesmerising to watch as the Smart TV or even the view. The kitchen space has all you need to cook while on holiday, catering for a big group. The dining table has enough room for everyone to eat together for sociable meals.

The garden outside is like another room. It has a decked patio area with a BBQ and furniture for al fresco dining. And while the lawn is great for kids to run around on during sunny days, there's also a pool table in the garage for competitive game days.
