Dog-friendly cottages in Ilfracombe

Pet-friendly self-catering cottages in Ilfracombe, Devon

Feel the fresh sea breeze of the North Devon coast with a stay at one of our dog-friendly cottages in Ilfracombe. With its scenic coastal walks, attractive harbour and golden beaches to play on, the classic Victorian resort of Ilfracombe has everything you need for a memorable holiday by the sea with your beloved canine pal. From our pet-friendly cottages, stroll down to the harbour to get a close-up view of Damien Hirst’s famous statue Verity or let your dog chase balls into the sea at Harbour Beach, making sure you don’t get caught out by the tide. Just to the south of the town centre lies Bicclescombe Park, which is a lovely spot for a walk or picnic by the boating lake.

Hillsborough Nature Reserve is popular with dogs and their owners thanks to its mix of gentle and steep trails. From the cliff-tops, discover the remains of an Iron Age hill fort and admire the spectacular views of the coastline. Tucked away at the foot of the cliffs is shipwreck beach Rapparee Cove. It’s a well-trodden spot for dog walkers as it’s sheltered from the wind and waves, although there are steep steps down. Exmoor National Park is around 12 miles from our Ilfracombe cottages and provides fantastic days out exploring its rugged terrain and pretty villages.
