Luxury Dog Friendly Cottages in Devon

Devon has two coastlines and Dartmoor in the middle, which makes it one of the more varied counties in England for a week with a dog. North coast beaches at Woolacombe and Croyde are open to dogs year-round outside the summer restriction period. The Tarka Trail runs 180 miles through the north Devon countryside. The South West Coast Path covers both edges of the county. Each listing tells you the nearest year-round beach and what the walking looks like from the door.

Combesgate View — Woolacombe, North Devon

Combesgate View sleeps twelve, 200 metres above Combesgate Beach on the north Devon coast. Five bedrooms across three floors, three with en-suites and sea views. Cinema room, snug with a wood burner, glass-fronted deck and a hot tub. The section of Woolacombe Beach south of Mill Rock is open to dogs all year and half a mile away. Morte Point is 1.5 miles along the coast path. Three dogs welcome.

Tallet — near Honiton, East Devon

Tallet is a barn conversion on a working farm a mile from Honiton, sharing a quiet courtyard with one other property. It sleeps four in a countryside setting with open fields on all sides. Payhembury village — a pub, a community shop and a small shingle river beach — is a short walk along the lanes. The South West Coast Path is ten miles south toward Sidmouth and Beer. Two dogs welcome.

Skyblue — Instow, North Devon

Skyblue sleeps six in the centre of Instow, an estuary village on the Tarka Trail where the Torridge meets the sea. The estuary beach is a short walk from the door. The summer ferry across to Appledore runs from the village. Saunton Sands, one of the longest year-round dog beaches in north Devon, is eight miles south. Two dogs welcome.

Explore Devon by Location

Devon has more year-round dog-friendly beaches than any other county in England, and two national landscapes — Dartmoor and the North Devon Coast — that have no seasonal restrictions. The South West Coast Path runs 200 miles along both coastlines. The Tarka Trail covers 180 miles of traffic-free walking through the north Devon countryside. On a clear day in October, most of it to yourself.

Each property in our Devon collection has been checked for what matters — which rooms dogs can access, whether the garden is enclosed and what the walk from the front door looks like.
