A picturesque cottage situated at the end of a gated path and surrounded by mature foliage; this character-filled rural retreat is ideal for family gatherings or group getaways in the Cornish countryside with a floppy-eared friend. Scamper over the rocky outcrops to the hidden bay of Portheras Cove for some secluded beachfront zoomies (accessible from the Pendeen Watch Lighthouse car park), then fire up the chimenea and feast al fresco in the inviting stone courtyard.
This appealing Grad II farmhouse boasts a warm, earthy interior with deep wood and leather textures, granite stonework walls, and traditional beamed ceilings. Perch at the bench seat in the entrance hall and unclip muddy harnesses, then pad through to the cosy lounge and sink onto the padded leather sofas with a hot drink in hand and bask in the glow of the crackling wood burner. The resident chef can show off their knife skills in the charming shaker kitchen and whip up some locally sourced treats while the bartender gets to work mixing some post-adventure tipples. Gather around the wooden bench seat to feast in front of the impressive inglenook fireplace or curl up with your snoozy pup on the armchair. Retreat upstairs to the sleeping areas consisting of an en-suite king-size, a double, and a second king-size. Fido can take his pick of two leafy courtyards to sniff and explore.
Bound along the rugged coastline at Botallack and spot the crumbling engine houses clinging to the cliffside on the Tin Coast – the perfect backdrop to capture a blustery group snap, 1 mile. Soak in panoramic coastal views from the Pendeen Lighthouse viewpoint, 2 miles, or dive in for a surf session at Sennen Cove then refuel at the beach bar with a cold drink and a doggy ice cream, 8 miles.
