Treat yourself to a well-deserved riverside escape in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – where you’ll be surrounded by coastal walking trails, pristine sandy beaches and charming seaside villages. Bring up to three other human guests plus two canine companions to this cheerful, coastal-themed cottage with elegant white-washed interiors, a warming wood burner and a small outside space.
Step inside and find yourself in the bright and homely lounge, with a wood burner inside an inglenook fireplace, two plump sofas and a SmartTV. Continue into the kitchen/diner where you’ll find an elegant Range cooker, a butcher's block, a Welsh dresser and a dining table with seating for four. An additional conservatory/storage area is also on the ground floor with access to the roof garden with seating. Climb the stairs to reach the first floor with a family bathroom plus two spacious double bedrooms.
During your stay in the small village of Appledore, you can start your day with a stroll past the pastel-hued buildings along the River Torridge (less than 200 metres) and pick up a coffee at the cafe. There is also an array of canine-welcoming restaurants and an ice cream shop within 0.5 miles. Head west to reach Westward Ho! Beach (2.5 miles) and from here you can hike along the South West Coast Path through the Hartland Devon Heritage Coast to Hartland Point (20 miles). Across the river is Saunton Sands (18 miles), which is canine-friendly all year round, and National Trust Baggy Point (21.5 miles) where you can admire the nesting seabirds and views of Lundy.
