Property code: OC-T29854

This charming coastal retreat is in the vibrant town of St Austell, offering dogs and their owners the perfect getaway exploring South Cornwall’s captivating coast and countryside. Locally, head down to Charlestown (2 miles) to take your pets in the Shipwreck Treasure Museum (2 miles) and join the South West Coast Path for pretty walks. With room for eight guests and two canine companions, this beautifully presented home is wonderful for a family group or holiday with good friends.

This holiday dwelling benefits from private parking with space for three cars. The inside is stylishly decorated in soothing whites, greys and blues. The central open-plan living area enjoys plenty of natural light streaming through its patio doors and skylight. Relax on the cosy seating while watching a film on the Smart TV or gather around the dining table for a sociable family meal. A separate snug with a sofa bed is a perfect spot for curling up with a good book. You’ll also have a furnished games room with sofas and board games, perfect for unwinding with your pups, and there’s a handy shower room and utility room on the ground floor. Head upstairs to find four inviting bedrooms, including two double rooms at the front. At the back, there’s a cheerful double and a twin that can be made into a super-king on request, both overlooking the garden with distant sea views. The main bathroom completes this wonderful space. Outside, the garden is a true haven for dogs and humans, with its raised paved terrace, outdoor furniture and large lawn located down some steps – perfect for a game of fetch.

Locally, enjoy scenic walks along the coastal paths or explore the vibrant town of St Austell with its shops, cafes and pet-friendly pubs. When it comes to beaches, you’ll be just 2 miles from the stunning Porthpean Beach, where dog restrictions apply in July and August. During those months, Par Sands Beach (6.5 miles) might be a better bet – it welcomes your furry friends all year round!
