Dog Friendly
Watermouth Cove Holiday Park is extremely dog friendly and we believe we're the most dog friendly
holiday park in the whole of Devon.
We've built an area specially for dogs to run around and exercise on the headland.
Your dogs can sit by the pool with you (but must be on leads)
Dogs are allowed within our Beach Hut Cafe
Dog Showers
We're also situated within North Devon which is a fantastic area for dogs with plenty of great places to visit with your canine friend(s).
A specially designated "Dog Exercise Area" up on the headland
We have created an area for all of our visitors with dogs to have a great run-around. Completely fenced off from the main camping areas, you and your four legged friend should have a great time enjoying the space for running and playing safely!
