1 / 20Sea Birds - Croyde
Croyde, Devon
The best walking position in this tranche, with four beaches for your dog inside a mile and a bit, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome at Croyde.
No property on this list has better walking on its doorstep. Sea Birds is a two bedroom house in Croyde with two bathrooms, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome, for five hundred and nineteen pounds a week.
The numbers make the argument on their own. Croyde Beach sits four tenths of a mile off. The Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows walk starts at six tenths and carries a nine with us. Saunton Sands itself is eight tenths and takes another nine. Putsborough Sands is one and a tenth. Four separate stretches of sand and dune inside a mile and a bit, two of them among the highest rated anywhere on our map, and every one of them reachable on foot with the dogs.
In practice that means a week where the car does not move. Two dogs, an enclosed garden with patio furniture and a charcoal BBQ to come back to, and the village itself walkable for everything else. Braunton Burrows is the largest dune system in Britain and it absorbs a dog's energy in a way that an hour on flat sand never quite manages.
