With a stylish interior and nestled in the countryside, this is a perfect base for families to explore all that West Cornwall has to offer.

Truly rest and recharge with man's best friend at your side when staying here, embracing Cornwall's peaceful countryside and wide-open beaches just a short drive away. Happily sleeping four guests and one canine companion, this open-plan property lends itself perfectly to a small pack holidaying together. Set off with dog treats and a hearty picnic in tow to explore the heart of beautiful Cornwall, always heading home at the end of each day to let sleeping dogs lie by the cosy fire as you prepare a delicious meal to be enjoyed by all.

Cheerful and bright with light flooding in, this compact cottage is always a joy to behold. There’s a hot spot for your dog’s favourite bed right beneath the electric fire, the perfect place for your beloved doggo to curl up and dream of chasing all the Cornish cats close by. They’ll snooze happily knowing their entire pack is close by, preparing meals, dining together or lounging in this open-plan living area. And, when it’s time for bed, a twin and double bedroom can be found right off this room. Completing the property is a generous helping of outdoor space, ideal for your dog’s early morning leg stretch.

Dotted just outside the market town of Camborne (1 mile), this property's location is well connected for discovering West Cornwall. For dogs that like to feel the sand and sea beneath their paws, head to Upton Towans Beach (7 miles) and make use of the wide expanse of dog-friendly shores. Pack up a tennis ball and look forward to endless ball games and splashing in the sea with your beloved doggo.

I cant speak highly enough of my recent stay at Elder Barn. Perfect in every way. I didnt want to leave! Superbly equipped and the enclosed, private garden area was ideal for the dogs.

We had a great three night stay at Elder Barn, it really did feel like a home from home. Elder Barn is set in a great location to have as a base for exploring around Cornwall and is really peaceful. We visited four beaches with our dog all within 30 minute drive from the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and hopefully will be back to visit again Read moresoon. Hide

We had a fantastic stay in Elder Barn, finding it particularly comfortable and well equipped.

We wanted to visit a number of places in west Cornwall so it gave us an ideal central location. Impeccably clean, fantastic wifi, nice big parking area (even if the approach is a bit narrow!). Very peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed sitting outside at the picnic table in the evenings.

We really enjoyed our stay (despite the wet weather!). The cottage was really nice, well maintained and clearly a relatively new build. It was very well equipped, a real home-from-home.

Our cottage was perfect. It had everything we needed. It was clean and the kitchen was full of equipment to use. The cottage was lovely and warm, and the fire made it very cosy for our rainy and windy stay.
