Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Barnstaple, Devon

A welcoming cottage for four humans and two happy hounds in North Devon. This superb family holiday home has easy access to the most sought-after coastal destinations and provides a peaceful space to return to after long, sandy adventures. Embrace the balcony and dine alfresco or soak away in the hot tub.

This tranquil holiday lodge is a joy to wake up in each and every day, thanks to the light and stylish design that flows through the accommodation. Begin your day in the serene twin zip-and-link bedroom or the beautiful king-size room and take your morning brew up to your private balcony and bubbling hot tub. Here, you can drink in those far-reaching hillside views before going to the lower floor kitchen/diner and prepping for a hearty breakfast.

This incredibly well-equipped room offers all the mod cons needed for a stress-free stay, whilst the dining table provides ample space to make special memories with your loved ones. Retire to the first-floor living room with a glass of vino in hand, and stretch out on the comfortable sofas accompanied by many films on the Smart TV. Pups and children will enjoy running the length of the shared lawn surrounding the lodge, while adults will relish a starlit dip in the shared outdoor swimming pool (summer months only).

Lace up your boots, pack up a picnic and adventure around the abundance of woodland trails that encircle your holiday home, including Northcote and Upcott Woods (0.5 miles). Admire vibrant blossoms in the 65-acre garden at RHS Rosemoor (10 miles) while more fabulous flora and fauna await you at Dartmoor National Park (20 miles). Quality fish and chips, seafood restaurants and gastro pubs are in high supply at the nearby seaside hotspot of Westward Ho!

(20 miles), where you can also take surf lessons, build sandcastles, visit the arcades and pick up supplies at the delis, bakeries and butchers.
