Your pup will go barking mad for a break at this three-bedroomed abode. Just half a mile from a pet-friendly pub and gorgeous Gunwalloe beach, it’s perfectly located for exploring the Lizard Peninsula. Wrap-around gardens and an outdoor games room add appeal for all.
Driveway parking makes unloading the dog a doddle; carry your self-catering supplies straight into the chic kitchen/diner. Light, bright and housing all the must-haves of home, this open-plan space is sure to be a social hub for your holiday – pup can stretch out on the tiled floor as you prepare tasty meals and gather at the charming dining suite. Afterwards, relocate to the lounge; with a beamed ceiling, TV, comfortable seating and a choice of board games, it’s a cosy spot in which to unwind. Once your pet is settled for the night, head off to your own bedrooms – the first – a pretty double – is on the ground floor so you’ll be close. Upstairs, both bedrooms have some low sloping ceilings; choose between a cheerful king-size room and an inviting twin room. The bathroom is also on this upper floor. Generous gardens surround the property. Take a seat on the patio as pup sniffs out the pretty planting, or explore a second, ‘secret’ garden together, taking care around the bordering stream. The outdoor games room adds to the family fun.
The historic hamlet of Gunwalloe Close sits 3 miles south of Helston and close to The Loe, Cornwall’s largest natural freshwater lake. Let pup take the lead as you stroll towards the Loe Bar; dogs are welcome at the National Trust’s nearby Dollar Cove all year too. To explore further afield, follow the South West Coast Path – the bustling seaside village of Porthleven is 3 miles and once you’re back, the ancient inn on your doorstep serves a great cream tea.
