Lavish your loved ones and your favourite four-legged friend with a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage in Padstow. Sleeping four guests, the picture-postcard retreat nestles in a mews setting in the charming Cornish town. With a wood burner for winter and a small, enclosed courtyard for the summer sun, it makes a great year-round choice for pets and people eager to be close to the beach.
Open the front door to this pretty hideaway and follow furry feet inside. Discover a bright, airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can all savour some special time away together. Let your four-pawed pal explore this space, which features white-washed stonework and beams, while you unpack all the local produce you have bought in Padstow and make fresh coffee in the machine. Light the wood burner on chilly days, top up your pal’s food and water bowls and sit down to your own meals at the table in the bay window. While away your evenings together playing games, watching the Smart TV and simply enjoying each other’s company. Give floppy ears a last rub before bed then climb the cottage staircase up to the first floor of the holiday home. Here you will find two enticing double bedrooms, plus a family shower room. Open a bottle of wine on warm evenings and carry glasses out to the table in the courtyard, with your pal wagging his tail behind you. There is a public car park 160 metres away on foot.
Take pups who love to paddle to Treyarnon Bay, 4.5 miles away, where they can bound and play freely all year round. Follow the Saints Way from the harbour at Padstow. This runs for 30 miles to Fowey. The Camel Trail, following a disused railway line between Padstow and Wenfordbridge, is another great route.
