Go mutts on the Cornish coast from this bright and welcoming holiday home that’s just a mile from Mawgan Porth Beach. The large windows and French doors are a real highlight of this stunning, contemporary holiday cottage. With bedrooms on the ground floor, and a charming open-plan living space, this lovely big getaway is perfect for groups of eight and two dogs.

This cottage has been thoughtfully designed with those with limited mobility in mind. Wide door frames and sloped paths facilitate ease of movement. Inside, you will find an opulent open-plan living space containing a practical kitchen, dining area, and lounge space, so whether you all like to spend time together socialising, or each take up endeavours of your own, this is the perfect space. Two of the bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite wet room, are situated on the ground floor. They both contain zip-and-link beds so can be made into super-kings, or twin bedrooms on request. The same goes for the two further bedrooms located upstairs on the first floor, which share access to a family bathroom. Outside, let sleeping dogs lie on your own private decked area, as you sit back and relax in this tranquil spot.

Leave no stick unfetched on Mawgan Porth Beach (1 mile), accessed via a path through the trees. The sandy shores here welcome dogs all year round and is a great place for restful beach days. Have a ball along the South West Coast Path, a scenic route that winds through here. Alternatively, take a day trip to the dog-friendly town of Newquay (6.5 miles), or hop on the Lappa Valley Steam Railway (9 miles) and admire the undulating Cornish countryside.

The lodge was perfect for our party of 7 including 1 dog. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It had everything we needed and we were able to cook a Christmas lunch for 7 with ease. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were spotless, as were the towels. The owner made up the rooms - twin or superking beds - tRead moreo made specific needs without any issue at all despite me requesting this only a few days before arrival. The location was perfect and, as advertised, a picturesque 20 minute walk to the Mawgan Porth beach along a footpath,or a 5 minute drive along the lane. In wet weather wellies are needed as it can be muddy. You can also walk along the lanes, which took about 30 minutes. However, beware the lanes are narrow so care is needed when cars pass. There was a small.play area which included swings in front of the lodges, and a stream which is easy to access with a rope swing. Mawgan Porth itself is a beautiful bay with a fabulous pub,small convenience store, some restaurants and a great beach food hut. I would highly recommend this property and intend to return. Hide

We've loved Mawgan Porth for years and this place has made it perfect. The standard of accomodation is amazing. Fixtures & fittings are really good quality, the beds and pillows are so comfy.

Lovely, clean and welcoming house. The owner has done a great job. Great fishing lake on site. There are three houses on the site but the way they have been built make the house area quite private. Parking close to the house. There are building works going on as you enter through the gate but this wasn't an issue at all. It wasn't noisy at all. TreRead morevor, the owner, was very helpful and easily contactable if there were any issues. Our issue was the lid on the bin in the kitchen area wouldn't close! Trevor ordered a new bin and it was delivered next day. Great service. Hide

Really enjoyed our stay at the property. Very quiet and in a secluded area. 30 minutes or so walk to the beach. Property was immaculate and modern. Building equipment inside the entrance to the site of 3 properties spoils the initial impression however you can't fault it once inside

Fantastic property in a tucked away spot! Everything in it you need to enjoy your getaway. High standards throughout! We all had towel envy they smelled so good! A great little find was The Retorrick Mill a few minutes walk away. Would definitely book again!
