A Welcoming, Dog Friendly Cottage in Appledore, Devon
We believe that the best holidays are those where the whole family can gather, including those with four legs and a wagging tail. At Cornwallis Cottage, your dog isn’t just an afterthought; they are a warmly welcomed guest.
Finding a truly dog-friendly cottage in Appledore that doesn't compromise on comfort or style can be a challenge. That is why we have designed Cornwallis to be a relaxing, beautiful haven where both you and your canine companion can slow down, unwind, and enjoy the magic of the North Devon coast together.

One of the main considerations when holidaying with a dog is having a safe outdoor space to enjoy. At Cornwallis, the sunny walled garden is fully enclosed, giving you complete peace of mind while your dog explores or relaxes outside. Accessed directly from the kitchen through double doors, it's the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely morning coffee on the decking while your dog stretches their legs. After a day exploring the coast, the garden provides a convenient space to rinse off sandy paws before settling in for a relaxed evening.

A Warm Welcome for Four-Legged Guests
We know that packing for a holiday with your dog can feel like a balancing act, Cornwallis Cottage offers a relaxed, dog friendly ambience where your four legged family member can feel instantly at home.
We supply water and food bowls for your dog, along with a welcome treat.
