For a luxurious seaside group holiday with your faithful companions, stay at this stylish home near Carbis Bay in pretty Cornwall. With the coast 1 mile away and fantastic walks right from your doorstep, it’s a dream destination for lovers of fresh air. A one-mile walk or drive brings you to Carbis Bay, a coastal resort with a friendly atmosphere. And while some local beaches have doggie restrictions in place during the warmer months, the delightful Bamaluz Beach (3 miles) welcomes your four-pawed friends all year round.
On arrival, leave your coats in the cloakroom before stepping into the heart of the home – a bright, open-plan living area perfect for socialising and doggie dozes. Sink into one of the plush sofas while your pets warm their fur by the crackling wood burner. The modern kitchen has everything you need for whipping up tasty meals, plus with a breakfast bar. Gather around the dining table for family feasts, or slide open the patio doors to dine in the fresh air. Upstairs are four attractive bedrooms – you’ll need to toss a coin for the super-king-size, with its en-suite shower and private balcony with bistro seating. The two zip-and-link twin rooms can be made into super-kings on request, and there’s another king-size bedroom that completes the sleeping quarters. A stylish family bathroom rounds off the home. Outside, relax with your pets on the decked terrace, which has a private hot tub and an outdoor dining area. The garden isn’t fully enclosed, so supervised scampers are best if yours are natural wanderers.
For dog walks that’ll satisfy everyone, the South West Coast Path offers breathtaking walks with panoramic sea views. For a pretty day out, head to the local station (1 mile) and board the coastal train to St Ives, where you and your pups can meander through cobbled streets filled with boutique shops and dog-friendly cafés and pubs. The Hayle Estuary (3.5 miles) is a haven for birdwatchers and peaceful riverside strolls – and on the west bank you’ll find the delightful Porthkidney Beach (5 miles) which is dog-friendly all year round.
