Tucked away within the expansive grounds of the St Mellion Estate, this contemporary hideout is surrounded by 450 acres of countryside, giving a couple or family and their four-legged sidekick plenty of scope for morning sniffs and post-adventure potters. With a spa and health club on site, dining options nearby and an 18-hole golf course, everything you need is close at hand for a laid-back break with your loyal companion.
The reverse-level layout begins on the ground floor, where a bright entrance hall leads to an eye-catching spiral staircase. Two bedrooms sit on this floor. The master is generously styled with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (convertible to twins if requested), a dressing area, Smart TV and a comfortable seating corner. A freestanding bath makes a lovely treat after muddy boot walks, while patio doors open straight onto the terrace. The second bedroom is a bunk room for children or an extra guest, and a cloakroom completes the lower floor. Winding up the spiral staircase brings you to the open-plan living, cooking and dining area, alongside a sleek shower room. Light streams through the room, creating an easy-going hub for shared meals, lazy mornings and planning days out with your canine companion. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from hearty breakfasts to packed lunches, while the lounge area has inviting seating, a Smart TV and access to a balcony overlooking the estate. Outside, both the terrace and balcony provide peaceful places to pause with a drink as your pup settles nearby. Guests also have complimentary use of the estate’s health club, plus private off-road parking for two cars.
With the Tamar Valley National Landscape on the doorstep and rugged Dartmoor National Park beyond, there’s no shortage of walking routes — from gentle riverside ambles along the River Tamar to historic trails around National Trust Cotehele Mill (3.5 miles). For salty air and sandy paws, Whitsand Bay (15 miles) welcomes dogs year-round, while Plymouth (12 miles) adds a buzz of waterfront walks, shops and pet-friendly eateries when you’re ready for a change of scenery.
