For a Cornish countryside escape with your partner and pet, stay at this cosy cottage in the peaceful village of Whitstone. It’s tucked between the vibrant towns of Bude (8.5 miles) and Launceston (11 miles) and gives you the best of both worlds – peaceful rural surroundings with easy access to the coast and town. Whether you fancy tasty lunches in dog-friendly pubs, windswept walkies along the coast path or simply pottering around quirky shops before a tasty cream tea, you’ll find your joy here.
This characterful stone cottage, all on one floor, has a light-filled open-plan space where you can kick back with your pet after a day’s adventure. Vaulted ceilings and wooden beams throughout the property bring plenty of character, while far-reaching sea views mean you can enjoy the scenic surroundings from dusk to dawn. When it’s time to turn in, a restful king-size bedroom awaits, with a window looking out across the garden and countryside. The sleek shower room completes the indoor space. Outdoors, dogs will love stretching their legs on the shared lawn while you relax with a cuppa or sunset tipple on your private patio. You’ll have access to a shared utility room and games room. Parking is provided for one car.
Your nearest beach of many is just 7 miles away, and while some apply doggie restrictions in summer, Black Rock (7 miles) and Sandymouth Bay (11.5 miles) are both pet friendly 12 months of the year. For extended walks through gorgeous scenery, the rugged Bude to Crackington Haven trail is a fantastic bet – this rewarding 10-mile walk has dramatic views and plenty of new smells for your pet to sniff out. Further afield, soak up the charm of Clovelly (20.5 miles), or spend an afternoon in scenic Crackington Haven (13 miles), both excellent options for scenic days out.
