Treat your pet to a trip to the Cornish coast with a stay at this quirky cottage in Cadgwith. Once home to a local fisherman and village lifeboat coxswain, this characterful retreat is ideal for a couple seeking a peaceful seaside break. A friendly pub, shop, renowned seafood store and galleries are all within 400 metres, along with a doggie-friendly beach where your canine pal can burn off some energy. You’ll enter through the kitchen before descending two steps into the charming living/dining room. Exposed beams give this welcoming space plenty of traditional character, while a sofa and wood burner offer cosy spots for relaxing after your coastal adventures. A dining table and chairs complete the room. From here, a winding wooden staircase with a rope handrail leads to the pretty double bedroom and bathroom, which has a shower over the corner bath and a WC. Please note that the cottage has no outside space, but with the beach and coast path right on your doorstep, it’s easy to get out into the fresh air.
From the village, let your doggie lead the way along the coast path to Lizard Point (4 miles), the most southerly point of mainland Britain, keeping an eye out for basking sharks in the surrounding waters. For more picturesque coastal scenery, venture to the dog-friendly Mullion Cove (6 miles) or the fishing village of Coverack (8 miles). Gweek Seal Sanctuary (10 miles) makes another memorable day out, with opportunities to see rescued seals at feeding time, as well as penguins and three resident beavers. Dogs on leads are welcome across most of the 42-acre site.
