Watch your pal’s ears prick up as you head off on a long walk along the Camel Trail when you stay at this dog-friendly cottage in St Minver, 4.5 miles from Wadebridge in North Cornwall. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway, which is perfect for a small family, nestles in a magnificent position for picturesque walks from the doorstep and trips out to beautiful beaches where four-legged visitors are welcome all year round. Afterwards, you can relax together in front of a roaring wood burner or in the sunshine of the courtyard garden.
Enter this welcoming Cornish retreat with your paw-some pal padding behind. Find yourselves in the comfortable lounge where he can stretch out on the rug and daydream about his day of doggy adventures. Light the wood burner and find a good film on the Smart TV. Take a step up into the kitchen/diner, where there is a table, to prepare the fresh produce you have bought and to dish up to both hounds and humans. Your pal will also enjoy settling down here for the night while you climb the stairs up to the first floor of the cottage. Here there is a double bedroom and a twin, with 3’ bunks that are ideal for small children, as well as the family shower room. Spend sunny mornings and evenings with your paw-fect pet out in the courtyard garden, which is up a few slate steps and has a charming stone wall.
Pack a bag, grab a few towels for people and pets and head off to a splendid, dog-friendly beach. Rock, and Daymer Bay, both 3 miles away, are great choices for swimming, padding and dipping paws in the salty waves. Make a day trip to Bodmin Moor, 11 miles away, with its many footpaths to follow.
