Set amid the rolling parkland of the St Mellion Estate, this charming stone cottage is surrounded by 450 acres of open countryside, giving up to four guests and their canine companion plenty of room for early-morning sniffs and evening mooches. With a spa and health club on site, eateries, and an 18-hole golf course just a short stroll away, there’s plenty on hand without leaving the estate.
Step inside to a light and airy hallway and move into the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. This sociable hub is ideal for sharing meals around the central table while whipping up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen. After a day exploring the estate, sink into the plush seating and switch on the Smart TV while your furry friend curls up nearby. Off the hallway, you’ll find a contemporary shower room and a cheerful bunk bedroom with handy storage. The master bedroom is an inviting retreat with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (convertible to twins on request), a dressing area, Smart TV, and a snug seating corner where you can sip your morning coffee while your four-pawed companion gazes out through the patio doors. An en-suite bathroom completes the sleeping arrangements. Head outside onto a private patio with garden furniture, accessible from both the lounge and main bedroom – great for quick trips outdoors with your pup. Beyond the patio, the estate’s extensive grounds invite leisurely rambles, while guests have complimentary access to the health club. Private off-road parking for two cars makes arrivals and departures hassle-free.
Bordering the Tamar Valley National Landscape and with Dartmoor National Park just beyond, there are endless walks for humans and hounds alike. Follow the River Tamar for gentle riverside strolls or discover National Trust Cotehele Mill (3.5 miles) with its historic gardens and trails that curious noses will love. For coastal adventures, dog-friendly Whitsand Bay (15 miles) has year-round access for sandy romps, while Plymouth (12 miles) brings a lively mix of waterfront walks, shopping, and pet-welcoming cafes for a change of scene.
