Property code: OC-P00700

This wonderful property, situated just 1.5 miles from dog-friendly Harlyn Bay, is perfect for you and your guests. Sleeping six across three tranquil bedrooms with your loyal canine companion welcome too, it won’t be long before you’re all off down the South West Coast Path enjoying walkies and taking in the stunning scenery. But there’s plenty to do at home too - have family table tennis tournaments in the sunny conservatory while the pup watches on.

The holiday home is neutrally-styled with pops of colour in the furnishings. The lounge and dining room are separated by a charming stone feature wall with a built-in electric fire in the lounge that the dog will love curling up by as you snuggle up on the sofa. The fresh and bright kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm and eat in the dining room, or head out to the large enclosed garden to grill up a BBQ and dine alfresco. If it gets a little chilly, retire to the conservatory where there’s seating around the table tennis table. There’s also a handy ground-floor WC. Upstairs, three bedrooms sit in the eaves; two king-size rooms and a cosy twin all have calming decor with a coastal theme to remind you of your proximity to the sea. Enjoy a relaxing soak or an invigorating shower in the bright and airy bathroom.

The central point of the Seven Bays area, you can access all seven bays within 4 miles – six of which are dog-friendly. Walk or cycle the Camel Trail from Wadebridge (9.5 miles) that leads all the way to Bodmin (15.5 miles), or for a more leisurely day, wander the streets of foodie paradise Padstow (3 miles), where dogs are welcome in many restaurants, cafes and even the National Lobster Hatchery.

Comfortable stay in well equipped property. The house was very clean and very comfy beds, with lovely bedding. Garden was perfect and Spaniel proof, with no means to escape.
