1 / 22Tranquillity Cottage
Appledore, Devon
A two bedroom Appledore cottage at four hundred and sixteen pounds, with an enclosed rear yard, two dogs welcome and a wood burner to dry them by.
Four hundred and sixteen pounds is the cheapest week anywhere on this list, and Tranquillity Cottage earns it honestly. Two bedrooms in Appledore, a wood burner, a bathroom on the ground floor and two dogs welcome.
Be clear about what the outdoor space is. It is an enclosed rear yard with seating rather than a lawn, which is standard for a village cottage in these streets. Two dogs can be let out into it; they cannot be exercised in it. The exercise is Appledore itself, and then Westward Ho at two and seven tenths, the level Tarka Trail at two and nine tenths, and Saunton Sands at four and a half, which we rate a nine.
For the money the position is remarkable. You are inside a working village with the quay, the boatyards and the estuary all on foot, so every day starts with a walk your dog can take from the doorstep rather than a car journey. Twenty guest ratings on a cottage at this price suggests people know exactly what they are getting and come back for it anyway.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Tranquillity Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Tranquillity Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. There's an enclosed rear yard where they can be let out, and a wood burner inside to warm them up after a wet walk.
Are dogs allowed at Tranquillity Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they aren't welcome throughout the year. If this is important to your trip, it's worth confirming directly with the owner before booking.
What should I know before visiting Tranquillity Cottage with my dog?
The outdoor space is an enclosed rear yard with seating — useful for letting dogs out, but not a lawn or garden you can exercise them in. The good news is that Appledore itself is right on the doorstep, with the quay and estuary accessible on foot, and Westward Ho!, the Tarka Trail and Saunton Sands all within five miles if you want a longer run.
