Watch your delighted dog race about in the sunshine at this Cornish barn with an enclosed lawned garden. Nestled in beautiful countryside, 1.5 miles from Kilkhampton and 5 miles from Bude, it is one of a clutch of retreats on the site and sleeps four guests. With two bedrooms and a reverse-level layout, the dog-friendly hideaway is well positioned for days on the beach and picturesque walks.

Enter to find accommodation that is paw-fect for your pup-loving party. At the heart of the barn is a light-filled lounge/kitchen/diner, with a beamed, vaulted ceiling, where you can relax together between your many excursions. Let your furry friend pad about and choose himself a special space while you prepare meals, watch TV and gather round the table to dine. There is also a breakfast bar where your friends or relatives can sit and chat to you as you cook. Stroke soft ears as your contented canine beds down for the night then descend to your own bedroom on the floor below. Lay your head in the king-size room or twin room and find the family bathroom at this level too. Take your four-legged chum out into the fresh air and sunshine on summer mornings. Sit out on the patio beside the barn or climb the stairs up to the impressive, lawned garden with its panoramic views. Here there is plenty of space for your chum to unleash some energy. There is parking for three cars with the barn.

Pack a picnic, pocket some puppy treats and venture 3 miles to the National Trust’s Sandymouth Bay. Here you can follow footpaths together and he can race across the dunes and open beach.

We weren't sure what to expect but it was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We had the beach within walking distance. Lovely walks just outside the door. If you want a relaxing holiday with your pups then this is the place. Unfortunately we had to leave Friday night instead of Saturday morning because of family, but will definitely book another holiRead moreday when we can Hide

We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed the rural location, perfect for walks with our dog yet still close enough for all amenities. I would not hesitate to go back again.

A wonderful stay in April's cottage, so peaceful and the house had everythingwe needed. The secure garden was great for our pooch and the sheltered seating area was perfect to sit with a cheeky tipple looking out at the fabulous view. Lovely 1.5mile walk through the woods to the beach. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely welcome from Sue on arrival. The cottage is warm and cozy, with very comfortable furniture. An Ideal place to stay with our 2 dogs - the enclosed garden was so safe for them. We enjoyed a hot chocolate in the garden at night listening to the owls hooting. The woodland walk down to Duckpool was absolutely gorgeous, I can only imaRead moregine how pretty it will be in the summer. We will be returning. Thank you Sue for the cream tea - delicious!! Hide
