1 / 16Hartnolls Lodge Woolacombe
Woolacombe, Devon
A single storey lodge above Woolacombe that takes three dogs for two people, with an enclosed lawn, a hot tub, and one of the best beaches in England a mile and a half away.
The ratio is the story here. Hartnolls Lodge sleeps two and takes three dogs, which is close to unheard of and tells you precisely who the owners built it for. It is a single storey lodge above Woolacombe with a king size bedroom, a hot tub that is emptied, cleaned and refilled between every stay, and robes and slippers included.
Get in the tub. Your dog has an enclosed rear lawn and a decked area to patrol, and then some of the best sand in the country a short drive or a long walk away. Woolacombe Beach is a mile and a half off and scores a nine on our map. Barricane and Combesgate sit a shade further along the same stretch. The Morte Point and Bull Point circular starts at about the same distance and gives you gorse, sea on three sides and rabbits working the bracken.
Everything is on one level, which is worth a great deal to an older dog at the end of a long day on the sand, and the three dog allowance carries no breed or size condition with it. Two people and three dogs is a specific sort of holiday and not many places are genuinely set up to take it. The ones that are tend to charge for the privilege. This does not, which is a large part of why it is on the list.

Is Hartnolls Lodge Woolacombe dog friendly?
Genuinely and specifically so — Hartnolls Lodge takes up to three dogs for two guests, with no breed or size restrictions attached. The property has an enclosed rear lawn and decked area for dogs to use, everything is on a single level, and there are no extra charges for bringing your dogs along.
Are dogs allowed at Hartnolls Lodge Woolacombe year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests any. If you want to confirm availability for a particular time of year, it's worth contacting the owners directly.
What should I know before visiting Hartnolls Lodge Woolacombe with my dog?
The lodge is single storey throughout, which is a real plus for older or less mobile dogs after a big day out. Woolacombe Beach is about a mile and a half away — you can drive or walk — and Morte Point offers a rewarding circular route with sea views and plenty of wildlife interest. The enclosed garden gives dogs a safe outdoor space at the property itself, and the three-dog allowance comes with no breed or size conditions.
