Chic pet friendly coastal cottage sleeps 8

Chic four bedroom cottage by the sea in Devon close to Beesands and Torcross that sleeps 8 with one pet welcome. The cottage is traditional on the outside and chic on the inside, creating a very desirable large group holiday home for families or friends.

Leave the door, and it’s mere steps to the nature lover’s paradise at Slapton Ley. Amble two minutes in the opposite direction and you’ll find yourself on miles of pearly white beach edging one of Devon’s most beautiful bays. Sunny days are spent lazing on the beach or paddling in the ocean while cooler days are whiled away over a seafood lunch in nearby Dartmouth. Of course, if you’d prefer to hang out at home you’ll be able to do so in complete comfort, either playing boardgames in the lounge in front of the fire or curling up in one of four fabulous bedrooms to catch up on your reading. Cook dinner in the fully fitted kitchen, potter the nearby coast path, throw sticks into the sea for the dog, then enjoy dinner and a G&T on the front terrace in the salty air. The cottage also has a second garden to the back which is accessed via the kitchen. Beautifully designed, it includes a gravel terrace with bench and BBQ on one level, and a pergola with festoon lights and a dining set on another.

Traditional on the outside and fabulously chic on the inside. Lovingly restored by its owners, every room has been immaculately designed and styled. Stroll up the front path and through the main entrance and you’ll discover a gorgeous airy space that’s peppered with original features of exposed stone and timber; beautifully balanced with sea-foam green walls, contemporary Scandi-inspired furniture and textured soft furnishings. There are areas to get cosy in like the ground floor snug with cast iron bread oven (uncovered during the property’s restoration), while the open plan kitchen / diner with its breakfast bar is where you can converge for a frothy coffee and conversation. Upstairs is all about having your own sanctuary to retreat to, and with four luxury bedrooms to choose from (two with waterside views), you’ll be able to indulge in blissful afternoon naps and deeply comfortable nights of sleep.
