Top Ten Pet Friendly Properties Close to Year Round Dog Friendly Beaches

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Wow is a stunning contemporary two bedroom coastal apartment, which overlooks the glorious golden sands of Westward Ho! Beach.  While dog access is restricted close to the town, only a mile or so up the coast pets can roam free at the far end of the beach.  The stunning Saunton and Braunton beaches are also just a short drive up the coast too where over three miles of golden sands and dunes can be found to explore.

Wow possesses one of the most spectacular views in the South West, accentuated by a full length balcony that runs the length of the apartment, making the most of this exclusive location.

Inside, the living room has ceiling to floor glass windows, while both double bedrooms have amazing sea views and access to the balcony.  The kitchen has granite work tops, designer cabinet draws, doors, and integrated appliances.  And, as an added bonus, a cool bag is provided with all the bits and pieces for a picnic on the beach, along with four beach towels and four beach chairs.

Wow sleeps four and can be booked for a seven night stay from £539.  A three night short-break can be booked from £385.  A small charge of £23 is made to allow for the extra cleaning that is typically required after a pet’s stay.

Treat Rover to a royal visit

Stay in one of Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday locations and get a royal reception for your dog.

Set at the bottom of a steep and winding road, the secluded Beach House, Shell and Pebble holiday apartments each look out over the idyllic Devon coast, taking in Oddicombe Beach, Torquay and Exmouth in the distance.  Described by Queen Victoria as: “A beautiful spot...with red cliffs and rocks, and wooded hills like Italy, reminding one of a ballet or play where nymphs appear...,” this enchanting location remains a firm favourite among dog owners looking for an extra-special stay.

Visiting dogs get their very own courtesy bed, bowl and treat thrown in, and they have access to the year-round dog-friendly Babbacombe beach below, which is only a stick’s throw away.  Other local year-round dog friendly beaches along the English Riviera coast include Livermead, St Mary’s Bay, Churston Cove, Elberry Cove, Maidencombe and Watcombe.

Bath robes are provided for the week along with complimentary Elemis Spa bathroom products.  Fishing rods are provided free of charge.  To cap things off staff will happily arrange day trips including golf excursions, boat trips, snorkelling and coastal path walks.

Not a hard Cellar for pet owners  

3 and 4 Fish Cellars are beautifully constructed 400 year old fish cellars that have been transformed into eco-friendly beach houses clad in their original old stone.  Booked together, they’re perfect for a party of twelve.  

Situated in the small historic village of Portwrinkle on the South East coast of Cornwall, 3 and 4 Fish Cellars have been finished to a very high standard, with waterfront balconies, under floor heating throughout and allocated parking.  

Breathtaking views of South Cornwall’s year-round dog-friendly Whitsand Bay and a sand and shingle beach close by make this a great destination for families, friends and pets who enjoy sunny beach walks, swims in the sea and digging in the sand.  

Add to that the South West Coast Path, which is just 50 metres away, and the nearby year-round dog friendly beaches of Downderry and Seaton, and Fish Cellars provides the perfect hound-focused holiday home, possessing some of the most spectacular views of Cornwall’s coastline that can be found in the county.

And, as an added bonus, the award winning Bay Restaurant is close by; a superb eatery that uses only locally sourced produce.  Alternatively, the traditional newly refurbished Finnygook Inn is within a 10 minute walk.

3 and 4  Fish Cellars sleep 6 each and can be booked for seven nights from £539.  A three night stay in either property can be booked from £385.  A small charge of £23 is made to allow for the extra cleaning that is typically required after a pet’s stay.
