1 / 24Fairways - Appledore
Appledore, Devon
An Appledore house with a garden that wraps right around it, three dogs welcome, underfloor heating for wet paws and a converted cinema room in the garage.
The garage at Fairways has been turned into a cinema room with a seventy five inch screen, which tells you the owners thought about what a family actually does on the third wet afternoon in a row. The house is four bedrooms and three bathrooms above Appledore, with underfloor heating throughout, a private hot tub outside and room for three dogs.
What counts is that the garden wraps the whole way around the property instead of sitting in a strip at the back. Lawn on one side, decking on another, hot tub in among it. For three dogs that is room to spread out rather than circle. Westward Ho is two miles off. Saunton Sands, four and a half out, carries a nine on our map, and the level Tarka Trail sits between them at three and a half.
Underfloor heating earns a specific mention for anyone travelling with a dog in winter, because it is the difference between a wet dog drying and a wet dog staying wet until Wednesday. Three dogs, and a garden on all four sides. For a large group with several dogs, that wraparound layout is the thing that stops a week together feeling crowded, because the dogs are never all in the same ten feet of lawn.

Is Fairways - Appledore dog friendly?
Yes, Fairways welcomes up to three dogs. The wraparound garden is a real bonus for multi-dog households, giving everyone room to spread out rather than compete for the same patch of lawn.
Are dogs allowed at Fairways - Appledore year round?
Nothing in the listing restricts stays to particular seasons, and the property is well set up for winter visits in particular. Underfloor heating throughout the house means wet dogs dry off properly after a rainy walk, rather than staying damp for days.
What should I know before visiting Fairways - Appledore with my dog?
The house takes a maximum of three dogs, and the garden wraps all the way around the property, which makes a real difference if you're travelling with multiple dogs. Westward Ho is just two miles away for a quick beach run, and Saunton Sands is around four and a half miles out if you want something more expansive — the Tarka Trail at three and a half miles is a good flat option in between.
