Featuring a large, enclosed garden and lovely rural views from almost every window, this charming getaway nestled in St Mawgan-in-Meneage is perfect for couples or families keen to uncover the natural beauty of Cornwall with their canine companions.

Refuel at the end of a busy day by rustling up some delicious treats for the whole pack in the contemporary kitchen/diner that welcomes tired travellers into this cosy home-from-home. Lead the way into the adjoining lounge which features tail-wagging views across the garden; during the warmer months, throw open the patio doors to unwind to the soothing whistle of the evening breeze. When it’s time to pause from chasing your tail, retire to the peaceful ambience of the double or twin bedroom which boasts lovely views to wake up to. The twin bedroom features 2’6” single beds most suitable for children. There’s also a lovely shower room. From sunrise to sunset, the enclosed garden set across three levels is a haven of tranquillity, providing plenty of space for a spot of al fresco dining on the decking, sunbathing on the paved terrace and for playful pups to stretch. There is private parking for two cars.

Walk the country lanes of the sleepy village of St Mawgan-in-Meneage; a village shop and local pub showcase some fabulous local produce to enjoy. The historic Trelowarren Estate, 3.5 miles away, offers 5 miles of public walks awaiting to be explored on foot or two wheels if your four-pawed pal can keep up. Known as the ‘Gateway to the Lizard', the historic market town of Helston, 5.5 miles away, is a walker's paradise; you’ll find plenty of stick-throwing opportunities walking the rugged clifftops that lead deep into the valleys and hills which wrap around the town.

This cottage was home from home with everything you needed. In a lovely village setting but within easy reach of local beaches and towns. Pub opens three night a week and had a lovely meal there and village shop is very handy. We were there with dog so enclosed garden was handy and the trellawan estate was lovely for walks. Our second week was greaRead moret weather so appreciated the garden furniture including sun beds. A wonderful stay. Hide

This is a truly lovely cottage, small yet perfectly formed. It has a lovely welcoming feel, it's bright, airy and the garden was secure for our dog. It's very well equipped too. We had a lovely week walking around the Helford Estuary, the wildflowers were out and the weather was great. It's in a beautiful location and I would definitely recommend Read moreit. Hide

The cottage is in a beautiful quiet location on the outskirts of a friendly village. The Ship Inn up the road serves fantastic food. The garden is lovely and dog friendly. The bedrooms are relatively small as is the bathroom so really only suitable for a couple. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and lots of essential rations were provided.

Extremely well equipped and very comfortable accommodation. The property was immaculately clean throughout and is very well located allowing easy access to The Lizard peninsula and across the whole of the southern tip of Cornwall. Very peaceful with practically zero traffic noise and just a short stroll to The Ship Inn (Fabulous food)
