Set within scampering distance of Looe harbour and the town’s long sandy beach, this cosy 17th-century Cornish cottage is a wonderful base for a relaxing holiday in the fresh sea air. It’s made for families with children and up to two canine companions, who can enjoy simple pleasures together, whether splashing in the sea, sniffing out rock pools or scoffing fish and chips. On a sunny day, you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Inside, the property is beautifully furnished, with a plush sofa, soft rugs and fluffy cushions making it feel warm and homely. Unwind in the snug lounge beside the flame effect gas fire while the four-legged members of your family nap in their dog beds. When your day is done, head up the steep cottage-style staircase for a restful night’s sleep. There’s a super-king-size bedroom and a bunk bedroom with a large window seat that will appeal to children. Remember to pack your dogs’ comfort blankets so they can get cosy too.
Uncover the splendour of South Cornwall’s golden coast with long walks along the clifftops and playtimes on the beach. Hannafore Beach is only around 500 metres from the property and offers a quiet spot for dogs to burn off some energy all year round. Experience the wonders of a glass-bottom boat trip to Looe Island, and explore the fishing village of Polperro (4 miles), with its picture-postcard harbour and colourful narrow streets. Thrill-seekers in the family won’t want to miss the Adrenalin Quarry (7 miles), home to zip wires, go-karting and axe throwing. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on-site too.
