As dog owner's ourselves, we understand how important it is to ensure that you can include your furry friend in all the family fun. That's why we are so great to holiday with! We have a wide range of pet-friendly accommodation, from caravans, cabins, chalets and cottages so you can enjoy Woolacombe and its beautiful North Devon surroundings with your canine companion, right by your side. Or if camping and touring is your thing, we do that too!
As we are dog lovers here, you and your furry friend will receive an extremely warm welcome from check in, all the way through your holiday to the very end when you check out.
Well-behaved furry friends are also welcome in our Clubhouse; all we ask is that they are kept on a lead at all times.
We want your furry friend to enjoy their holiday just as much as you do, so we have jam packed as much information as we can to help you plan your stay.
Don't forget to purchase your 'Doggy Welcome Pack' when booking which includes: dog blanket, collapsible dog bowl, rubber dog ball, doggy Dentastix, travel water bottle and doggy poo bags.
