Part of Woolacombe Beach is dog friendly so you can take your four-legged friends with you and enjoy a relaxing day on the beach. For golf enthusiasts, only 3 miles away is a Mortehoe and Woolacombe Golf Course, a beautiful 36-hole championship links golf open to visitors.

A wonderful cottage within walking distance of the village. A comfortable, large lounge; a well-equipped kitchen; and great walk-in shower. The garden is large, perfect for our dog, with table and chairs, and access to the parking at rear of cottage. As someone previously mentioned, the stairs are steep, but the cottage is over 400 years old, so soRead moreme compromises are to be expected. A good base for visiting the local area. Hide

After seeing a few slightly negative reviews, I was a little worried. But the cottage was great, 4 of us stayed, everything worked, parking was fine and location was great, being able to walk to the village was a real bonus.

Pretty cottage located in a lovely location, good amenities for walkers and dogs, close to excellent beaches. As someone who hosts a holiday property I felt the cottage although pretty, was lacking some care and attention, be prepared to take all beverage requirements and cooking basics as nothing was available on our visit.

A real 17th century character COTTAGE with everything a first-time cottage renter would expect.
