Watch tails wag and ears prick up when you suggest a game of fetch out on the shared lawns at this Cornish cottage. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom stone hideaway is set in Saint Martin-by-Looe, 4.5 miles by car from Looe itself and 2 miles from Seaton. It sits in an ideal position for hounds and humans who are eager to follow the South West Coast Path.
Accompany your four-pawed pal through the front door and into a sun-soaked, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Pop the fresh Cornish pasties you have bought in town into the oven in the kitchen to warm as you heap food into your furry friend’s bowl and top up his water. When lunch is ready, decide whether to dine inside or out. The cosy lounge corner of the room is ideal for cuddling up on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV with your contented canine curled up on the floor. Find him somewhere comfortable downstairs to spend the night, then head off to your own bedroom. There is a lovely twin on the ground floor. The family bathroom, which has a stylish freestanding bath, is also at this level, while a splendid double bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, is on the first floor. This impressive bedroom has a gorgeous vaulted and beamed ceiling. Let your chum amble out into the enclosed patio as the mood takes him. Grill supper out here on the BBQ on warm evenings before taking him for a stroll around the shared gardens. There is parking for one car.
While away sunny afternoons watching your pal paddle in the salty shallows at dog-friendly beaches such as Seaton, 2 miles away, or Hannafore, 5 miles away. Seaton Valley Countryside Park, 2 miles from the cottage, is also popular with dog walkers.
