Property code: OC-MRLYN6

Situated in an enviable spot in Porthleven, this superb home-from-home is an excellent choice for groups of six and their curious canines to explore this delightful corner of the coast. This inviting property boasts an enclosed garden, a BBQ and a cosy wood burner for those memorable evenings in.

Pad into this sublime seaside cottage to find a welcoming living room, where a wood burner is ready to be stoked up and snoozed in front of. With nods to the nautical setting and coastal colour palette, this makes a homely spot for you and your pup to hunker down for the evening. Watch TV or play games with your family, before heading to the well-equipped kitchen/diner to cook up dinner for the eager pooches. Spill out into the rear enclosed garden, where kids can enjoy a kickabout and pups can do zoomies to their hearts’ content. There’s even a BBQ for when you want to dine alfresco. When the group is dog-tired, three spacious bedrooms on the first floor invite you to relax, including one with a lovely bay window offering views of the bobbing boats.

Stay in the heart of Porthleven, with its picturesque harbour, a wide variety of dog-friendly restaurants and cafes on your doorstep. If you fancy a swim with your furry friends, Porthleven Beach (300 metres) is pup-friendly from September to June and stretches all the way to Looe Bar in Cornwall’s National Landscape. Visit the National Trust’s beautiful Penrose, 0.5 miles away, to stretch tufty legs with long walks around the lake and woodland. Other attractions include Flambards Theme Park (3 miles) and the South West Coast Path.
