Unwind with your loved ones at this lovely beach house in the charming village of Porthtowan. Sleeping six people over two bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, this home away from home is ideal for small families or groups of friends in search of a relaxing cottage to call home while they explore the untamed beauty of Cornwall together. During the day, let your pup run off-leash at Porthowan Beach. In the evening, come home to the cottage to sip a glass of wine and take in the sea views from the lovely rear patio.
Step inside this cheerful cottage and you’ll find yourself in a bright living room that’s bathed in sunlight. Sink into a plush sofa and soak up the homely atmosphere of this family-friendly space, before heading to the cheerful open-plan kitchen/dining area. Rustle up your favourite dishes in the traditional, farmhouse-style kitchen area and then gather everyone to eat at the pretty dining table. Alternatively, head out onto the charming rear patio to enjoy an al fresco dinner while your pup enjoys playing in the enclosed garden. After dinner, head back to the living room, pour yourself a glass of wine and catch up on your favourite TV shows while your pup sleeps happily at your feet. At the end of the day, make your way upstairs and you’ll find two stylish bedrooms – one peaceful double, and one family room with a bunk bed and two singles. Completing the layout, you''ll find a smart family bathroom. In the morning, start the perfect day with a stroll on the beach – it’s just a few metres from the cottage and is essentially a part of your front garden.
Grab your walking boots and head to Wheal Coates (3.5 miles) to explore the dramatic coastline with your pup. This short circular route offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, but please keep your dog on lead, especially near the cliffs. Alternatively, head to Perranporth Beach (8 miles), where you''ll find dog-friendly surf schools where you can practice your skills alongside your canine companion. Dogs are welcome all year round, but there are leash restrictions during peak hours in July and August.
