  • Characterful, stone-built Cornish cottage with delightful countryside and ocean views
  • Unwind in the garden, playing games on the lawn or dining alfresco on the furnished patio
  • Set just 1 mile from a sandy beach, this is the perfect base for adventures along the Cornish coast
Property code: OC-D30897

For a restful Cornish break with up to three furry friends, stay at this three-bed holiday home 4.5 miles north of Bude. It’s located within the picturesque Hartland Heritage Coast and surrounded by stunning ocean and countryside views, opening up ample opportunities for wonderful dog walks through spectacular scenery. The dog-friendly Sandymouth Bay, with its golden sands, dramatic cliffs and rock pools is just 1 mile away – perfect for doggie adventuring – and the dog-friendly Duckpool Beach is 2 miles away, accessible via the South West Coast Path.

Inside this homely abode, you’ll find an open-plan living area for relaxing with your pets and after long walks and beach days. Unwind on the comfy sofas, pop the TV on and, if it’s mild, let the fresh sea air flow in through the garden doors. The kitchen, located in one corner, is fully equipped for rustling up feasts, to be enjoyed at the dining table or perhaps outside in the fresh air. When it’s time to rest, choose from one of three inviting bedrooms: two doubles (one with an en-suite shower room) and a cosy twin – all bedrooms have TVs for those indulgent mornings. A family bathroom completes the indoor space. The enclosed garden is a haven for dogs, with a lawn for games and rolling around on. Soak up the delightful views and share memories of the day sitting at the picnic table. In good weather, you may wish to fire up the BBQ while your pup enjoys a well-earned snooze in the sun (and remains hopeful for a tasty treat!).

At Bude, take your pets for canal walks, browse independent shops and treat yourself to some fresh seafood for dinner. You’ll find another dog-friendly beach 7.5 miles away in Black Rock – why not get there on foot/paw via the coastal path (joinable 1 mile away)? At Hartland Quay (13 miles), breathtaking cliff-top scenery meets the wild Atlantic waves for a dramatic scene. History-loving dogs are welcome at Tintagel Castle (22.5 miles) – they’re best on leads because of all the steps and cliff edges.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 doubles, 1 twin, both first floor bedrooms have sea views

Fantastic location however wouldnt book again. The garden wasnt particularly secure for dogs & meant we couldnt completely relax. Not as well equipped as a lot of cottages Ive stayed in. Felt as though this was very much about the income & not the guest.

Really nice location and friendly, helpful owner. Furniture really comfortable, especially the beds. Guaranteed a good nights sleep! Easy to get to Bude or Sandymouth and the walk to Bude via the Sandymouth road and the cliff walk is straightforward. Useful to be able to use the facilities if the Darwin Escapes site 200yds down the road.

We went in June, so it was quiet and peaceful. The cottage has a good layout, three double bedrooms and two toilets/ shower rooms. The living area is fine as well. The location is just up from Summerlease beach and 4 miles to Bude. All exactly as described.
