Dog-friendly holidays in North Devon can combine beach walks with woodland outings and a countryside place to stay. The best base depends on how you want to spend your days: walking straight onto the sand, or driving out to the coast before returning inland. At Northcote Manor, near Burrington in the Taw Valley, we suggest planning around your dog's stamina and the journeys you actually want to make.
If you are deciding where to stay in North Devon, start with how you want to spend your break. A coastal base makes sense if most days will revolve around one beach. For couples planning a shorter escape with coastal trips, good food, spa time and quieter evenings, staying in the countryside can give you considerably more variety without giving up the coast.
