Property code: OC-D32266

Let marvellous St Ives offer you a tail-wagging good time, staying with your four-pawed pal in this handsome stone cottage. The whole pack – paws and people included – are invited to make unforgettable memories here, with space to host six guests and one treasured furry friend. Dogs will adore the proximity to St Ives’ sandy Bamaluz Beach, less than 300 metres from your doorstep. Pack a tennis ball and get ready for endless games on the sand and splashing in the sea, before heading home to warm toes and paws in front of the property’s wood burner.

A charmingly rustic retreat, the property features exposed stone walls, stable doors, and handsome copper finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. Shake your tail and step inside to discover the open-plan living space with wooden floorboards and a warm, inviting ambience. Cosy up for a night in front of the Smart TV, letting Fido curl up at your heel with dreams of the day’s adventures still fresh in mind. Upstairs, three bedrooms are neatly arranged across two floors, each with soft, hypoallergenic bedding. Both bathrooms are also located upstairs, and you’ll love soaking tired muscles in the rainfall shower or the impressive roll-top bath after a day of endless walkies.

Whilst there’s no outdoor space designated to this property, you only need to trot over the road to reach the beach. Bamaluz Beach is St Ives’ designated dog-friendly beach, but you can explore the other six nearby beaches too, taking note of any seasonal restrictions for pets. Between beach days, enjoy wandering St Ives’ winding, art-filled streets, discovering galleries and artists at work with Fido on the lead. When it’s time to stretch those legs, head up onto the South West Coast Path (just 100 metres away) and hike out of town.

The cottage was lovely, we were all impressed with comfort, lay-out, furnishings, quality of appliances, equipment, etc. The location was ideal, great to be such an easy walk to everything that St. Ives has to offer. Getting up and down the many steep steps to the front door was a bit of a challenge to the less fit, but it was still worth it! We tRead moreook a wrong turn on the way in to town and had a challenging drive through the narrow streets but we made it in the end. Once there, we only left town once, and left the car in the nearby car park for the whole week. Fridge is quite small / limited for four adults for one week, and very low for those who find it hard to bend down and get back up! Hide
