Wake up to the smell of sea air in this charming cottage overlooking Mounts Bay. The property sleeps four guests and one pup and makes a great couples’ retreat or base for a small family. The area is a haven for dog walkers, with the South West Coast Path passing nearby and countryside walks branching away from Porthleven. Like much of Cornwall, the town is extremely canine friendly, with many pubs and restaurants welcoming furry visitors.
The coastal bolthole has a reverse-level layout, making the most of the fabulous sea views. On the ground floor are two bedrooms: the first is a king-size with homely soft furnishings and the second is a cosy twin with an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, discover a gorgeous, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a wall of picture windows framing the fantastic ocean vista. Enjoy meals at the dining table looking out to sea, or sink into the leather sofa, with your hairy companion at your feet, to watch the TV or a DVD. Hard floors run throughout this level, making it a good place for Fido to set up camp. Completing the accommodation is a stylish kitchen area. There is a small, enclosed terrace to the rear, with furniture for al fresco dining.
Porthleven is full of Cornish charm. Enjoy a morning dog walk around the lively harbour, as the fishing boats leave for the day, followed by a coffee and cake in one of the woof-friendly cafes. The beach is sand and shingle and has a designated area that welcomes hounds all year. At low tide, you can walk from here to Loe Bar (1.5 miles), which is the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall. The beauty spot is a lovely place for a picnic on a sunny afternoon, followed by a walk through the surrounding woodlands.
