Lead your partner and your pup to this fabulous Cornish cottage, and look forward to a romantic retreat filled with endless dog walks and games of fetch in the surrounding countryside. The property, which sleeps two guests and up to two dogs, is an outdoor lovers’ haven, engulfed by never-ending woodlands, fantastic footpaths and cycle paths that energetic pets will love. At night, come home and get cosy by the warmth of the wood burner, reminiscing on a day well spent with your dogs comfortably tucked up at your feet.

On a quiet country road, follow the external stone steps to make your way down to this undisturbed holiday home. Head inside and get cosy, enjoying the exposed brickwork and natural textures throughout the single-storey space. Your canine companion will adore having their pup-parents close by in the open-plan living space, gently drifting off with the distant hum of cooking, chatter and the Smart TV in the background. Leave sleeping dogs to lie right here as you head to bed, finding a beautiful king-size bedroom beside a shower room along the hallway. Just outside, the property is completed by a courtyard, enclosed to ensure you can truly relax whilst your dogs sniff around.

Along with the verdant beauty around the property, the wonders of the Cornish coast and countryside also lay waiting to be discovered. Make your way to Bodmin, just 3.5 miles away, and plot a route into Bodmin Moor (5 miles). This rugged heart of the county offers wide open spaces and unique rock formations, ready to be explored with doggie treats in your pocket and man’s best friend at your heel. Moving in the opposite direction, the South Coast awaits. Visit Par (8.5 miles) to spend time on the tail-wagging Par Sands, a small sand beach that’s pet-friendly all year, while other local beaches like Carlyon Bay (13 miles) welcome pets in the off season.

This cottage was so cute and cosy and had everything we needed. The location is also perfect with fantastic walks straight from the cottage or coastal paths and beaches 20mins drive away.

This is a hidden gem. If you're looking for a unique romantic getaway or a place to stay with your dog to explore the local area this is perfect. If you love quirky but homely this is the place for you. The occasional ducking your head is required but my husband is Dutch and tall and we had no issues providing you duck in the right place. The ownerRead mores have evidently really thought about everything and are very attentive. Truly a lovely place to stay. Hide

We found it to be cosy, quiet, well equipped and well placed to get to to places such as Fowey. It was a short walk to woods if you have a dog which are welcome, we felt rested after our 5 nights stay, we would use again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage! Despite its small size, it was comfy for two people and is in a great location for exploring both the North and South coasts.

The Piggery was perfect for us with lots of walks from the front door, including the National Trusts Lanhydrock. It is centrally located with a 20 minute drive to many different villages and beaches. I would recommend this cosy cottage.
