1 / 22Coastguard Cottage - Woolacombe
Woolacombe, Devon
Six people and three dogs at Woolacombe for under seven hundred a week, with an enclosed garden, a wet room for the sandy ones, and four beaches inside two miles.
Three dogs and six people for under seven hundred pounds a week is arithmetic that usually has something attached to it, and here it is simply distance: Coastguard Cottage sits a mile and a half back from the sea rather than on the front. It is a three bedroom cottage at Woolacombe with an enclosed garden and a wet room on the ground floor.
That wet room is the detail to hold onto. Woolacombe Beach is a mile and seven tenths away, rates a nine on our map, and runs to three miles of sand at low water, so your dog will come back carrying a fair quantity of it. Barricane and Combesgate sit a similar distance along the same coast, and the Morte Point and Bull Point circular starts at one and eight tenths, giving you gorse, sea on three sides and rabbits working the bracken.
An enclosed garden to let three dogs straight into, and a ground floor wet room that will take a hosing. Four beaches and a headland circuit inside two miles means a week here barely needs the car after the first day, which with three dogs to load and unload is worth more than it sounds. The mile and a half back from the front is the trade, and what it buys is the dog count.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Coastguard Cottage - Woolacombe dog friendly?
Yes, and genuinely so — the cottage takes up to three dogs and has been set up with them in mind. There's an enclosed garden to let them straight out into, and a ground floor wet room that's built for post-beach hosing rather than just tolerating it.
Are dogs allowed at Coastguard Cottage - Woolacombe year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any conditions around your stay. Woolacombe Beach itself is worth checking too, as many UK beaches have seasonal dog restrictions during the summer months.
What should I know before visiting Coastguard Cottage - Woolacombe with my dog?
The cottage sits a mile and a half from the sea, so you're not on the front — but that's the trade-off for the dog count and the price. Four beaches including Woolacombe, Barricane and Combesgate are all within two miles, as is the Morte Point and Bull Point circular walk, so a week here can be done largely on foot once you've unpacked. Woolacombe Beach runs to three miles of sand at low tide, so the ground floor wet room will earn its keep.
