Why choose Braunton for a dog-friendly holiday?

Braunton works well for guests who want more flexibility than staying in one beach village. Saunton Sands is nearby, while Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe are all within easy reach for different days out. You can choose between wide sandy beaches, coastal walks, surf beaches and quieter countryside routes without moving accommodation.

The village itself is a good base for self-catering stays, with local shops and places to eat. It is also well placed for visiting Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and the wider North Devon coast.

Beaches and coastal walks near Braunton

Saunton Sands is the closest major beach, with a long stretch of sand backed by dunes. Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe offer further choices for beach walks and time by the sea.

Dog access can vary by beach, area and season, so check local signs and current restrictions before setting out.

Braunton Burrows and the countryside

Braunton Burrows gives dog owners another reason to stay in the area. The dunes and surrounding landscape offer a change from beach walking, while the wider North Devon countryside and nearby Tarka Trail provide further routes to explore.

Keep dogs under control around wildlife, livestock and other visitors, particularly on busier paths and in sensitive areas.

Cottages for couples, families and groups

Braunton’s dog-friendly listings can suit different types of break. There are smaller properties for couples, family cottages with outside space, and larger homes for groups wanting room to relax together after a day out.

Some properties may also have features such as gardens, games areas, hot tubs or space for children. These differ between cottages, so use the property details to find the right fit.
