Luxury dog-friendly cottages in Devon
From bounding across golden beaches in Woolacombe to padding through Dartmoor’s heather-cloaked moorland, a stay in one of our luxury dog-friendly cottages in Devon is sure to be one fine adventure.
Weekends together are better when the whole family's involved, four-legged friends included. In our curated collection of luxury dog-friendly cottages in Devon, there are hampers of tasty artisan treats on arrival, cosy dog beds settled right by the fire, and outdoor pools that'll set tails wagging. So, round up your pack and make for a beautiful private home in the country, to places where dogs can spend their days racing across mist-laden moors, chasing each other’s tails and making impish plans to bury sticks.
If you're setting out to explore Devon’s wild landscapes with a faithful companion in tow, this curated collection includes, paws-down, the best kept secrets on the dog-friendly travel scene. With the sun on your face, take a trail down to your private beach on the River Dart, letting the dogs race ahead for their morning rituals. Or hike out across the lush Teign Valley to blow off the cobwebs, before returning home to a balmy wood-fired hot tub while the pups dream of foxes by the fireside.
