1 / 23Waterscape
Heanton, Devon
A retreat for two above the Taw estuary with an enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, and the flat traffic free Tarka Trail under two miles from the door.
Two people, two dogs, five hundred pounds a week and an estuary view. Waterscape is a one bedroom place at Heanton above the Taw, with patio doors opening onto an enclosed garden, a wood burner, and both the bedroom and the bathroom on the ground floor. Forty eight guest ratings is a lot for somewhere this small, which usually means people come back.
Take the view from the garden. Your dog gets the best flat walking in North Devon. The Tarka Trail is one and seven tenths of a mile away, entirely level and entirely car free, which makes it the dependable walk in bad weather and the kind one for an older dog. Saunton Sands and the Braunton Burrows walk are both under four miles and both rate a nine with us. Croyde is four and a bit if you want the surf crowd.
A two dog allowance at this price is generous. The garden is enclosed and opens straight off the living space through patio doors, so on a warm evening the door stands open and nobody has to keep an eye on the gate. For a one bedroom place that detail does a great deal of work. With two dogs in a small space, an enclosed garden rather than a patio is the difference between room to breathe and a long week indoors.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Waterscape dog friendly?
Yes, Waterscape welcomes up to two dogs. The property has an enclosed garden that opens directly off the living space through patio doors, which makes it genuinely practical for dogs rather than just technically pet-friendly.
Are dogs allowed at Waterscape year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and with an enclosed garden and a wood burner inside, the setup works well outside of summer too. The Tarka Trail, under two miles away, is level and car-free, making it a reliable option whatever the weather.
What should I know before visiting Waterscape with my dog?
The property allows two dogs, which is generous for a one-bedroom place at this price point. The enclosed garden opens straight from the living area, so dogs have space to move freely without you needing to manage a gate. For walks, the flat and traffic-free Tarka Trail is 1.7 miles from the door, and both Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows are under four miles away.
