Set amid the sweeping parkland of the St Mellion Estate, this stone-built retreat sits within 450 acres of countryside where you and your four-pawed pal can wander at will between outings. With a spa and health club on site, places to eat, and an 18-hole golf course nearby, there’s plenty to hand without straying far from your base.
The home is arranged in a reverse-level style, starting with a welcoming entrance hall on the ground floor and a striking spiral staircase at its heart. Two bedrooms are found on this level. The main bedroom is thoughtfully laid out with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (made up as twins on request), a dressing area, Smart TV and a snug seating nook. A freestanding bath is a soothing bonus after rural rambles, while patio doors lead directly onto the terrace. A compact bunk bedroom suits children or an additional guest, and there’s also a cloakroom on this floor. Climb the spiral stairs to reach the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, alongside a contemporary shower room. This bright, sociable setting works well for laid-back meals, morning coffees and planning walks with your canine companion. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking or prepping picnics, while the lounge has comfortable seating, a Smart TV and doors opening onto a balcony with views across the estate. Outside, the terrace and balcony create calm corners to sit with a drink as your pup dozes nearby. Guests also have complimentary access to the estate’s health club, plus private off-road parking for two cars.
Bordering the Tamar Valley National Landscape with Dartmoor beyond, the surrounding area is a treat for walkers — follow riverside paths along the River Tamar or head to National Trust Cotehele Mill (3.5 miles) for scenic trails and historic gardens. For coastal days, dog-friendly Whitsand Bay (15 miles) has year-round access for sandy strolls, while Plymouth (12 miles) brings waterfront wanders, shops and pet-positive places to eat if you’re after a livelier day out.
