Coastal cottages
Escape to the coast and breath in the sea air while walking the coastal foot paths or relaxing on the beach.Read more
The South West coast path really is a national treasure, offering uninterrupted access to 630 miles of seaside walks stretching from the isle of Purbeck in the east, west to Land’s End and back up along the Atlantic to Exmoor’s coast. Along the way, you cross through Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the Jurassic Coast, the South Hams, the rugged Cornish coast and North Devon’s heritage coast, with myriad picturesque seaside towns and harbour villages waiting to be discovered, nestled between sheltered coves and vast open beaches that rival any in the world. But don’t take our word for this, come and find out for yourself!
The sound of waves crashing, sea birds twittering and children playing all add to the intoxicating atmosphere by the sea. Book dog friendly accommodation and watch your pet discovering the seaside for the first time or simply find a beachside cafe to retreat and watch the comings and goings of the bay.
