Comfortable beds and fluffy towels. A tiled entrance useful for muddy boots and dogs. A large fenced garden making it completely safe for dogs. The garden has a lovely sitting area, perfect for sunny days. The cottage, although 15 minutes away from a beach is in a good location for Dartmouth, Salcombe etc Would happily recommend and hopefully return one day ourselves.

The neighbours were also really nice (especially Bryn the dog...what a sweety). The garden was really nice and genuinely secure which was really important to us and our dog (she loved having the freedom to come and go at will). Several lovely beaches within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.
