Surrounded by the rolling parkland of the St Mellion Estate, this contemporary stone hideaway sits within 450 acres of open countryside, giving up to four guests and their furry companion endless chances for morning sniffs and gentle evening wanders. With a spa and health club on site, nearby dining options and an 18-hole golf course close at hand, it’s easy to slow things down without travelling far.
The property is laid out in a reverse-level design, beginning on the ground floor with a welcoming entrance hall and a wonderful spiral staircase taking centre stage. Two bedrooms are located on this level. The master bedroom is generously appointed with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be set up as twins on request), a dressing area, a Smart TV, and a cosy seating corner. A freestanding bath awaits after long walks across the estate, while patio doors open straight onto the terrace. A compact bunk room works well for children, or an extra guest, and a cloakroom completes this floor. Heading up the spiral staircase brings you to the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, accompanied by a modern shower room. This light-filled hub is made for easy holiday living, whether you’re sharing meals, lingering over coffee or mapping out routes for days out with your canine companion. The kitchen is well equipped for home cooking or picnic prep, while the lounge invites you to settle into comfortable seating and switch on the Smart TV. Doors open onto a balcony overlooking the estate, giving you another peaceful spot to pause with a drink as your pup curls up nearby. Guests also benefit from complimentary use of the estate’s health club, along with private off-road parking for two cars.
With the Tamar Valley National Landscape close by and Dartmoor National Park beyond, walking routes are plentiful. Follow riverside trails along the River Tamar or visit the National Trust’s Cotehele Mill (3.5 miles) for historic gardens and scenic paths that curious noses will love. For coastal adventures, Whitsand Bay (15 miles) welcomes four-legged visitors all year round, while Plymouth (12 miles) adds waterfront walks, shopping and dog-friendly eateries.
