Head off on long dog walks through the picturesque valley from this delightful, dog-friendly retreat at Ponsanooth, 3 miles from Penryn. Sleeping just two guests, as well as their beloved hound, the one-bedroom lodge is in a perfect setting for riverside and coastal walks, as well as scenic beaches, where your pup can bound across the sand and splash in the shallows whenever he chooses.
Arrive at this welcoming lodge, which sits in the grounds of the owner’s home but enjoys privacy, to find bright, airy accommodation centred around an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Let your pet pad about and explore, opening the doors on to the enclosed deck so he can amble out into the fresh air on warm days. Whip up tasty meals in the kitchen area and give your pal his food here too. Sit down to delicious dinners for two at the table then settle down on the soft seating in front of the TV, with your contented canine at your feet, for the rest of the evening. The bedroom at the property is double in size and there is a family shower room. A handy washing machine for damp dog towels is in a utility room that can be accessed from outside. Take in the valley views from the deck, enjoying meals out here in the sunshine, before taking your four-legged friend off to stretch his legs on one of the many local scenic walks.
Pack towels and a picnic and head 5.5 miles to Flushing Beach, which is dog-friendly all year round and hosts a famous sandcastle-making competition. Visit beautiful Enys Gardens, 3 miles away, where you can stroll through the wooded grounds with your faithful friend at your heel.
