Half a mile from celebrity enclave Rock, this high-end home is a real pack-pleaser. Complementing its luxe social spaces and sanctuary-like bedrooms, the gorgeous garden features a seasonally-available heated pool. Private parking means you can sniff out the surrounding coast and countryside at leisurely pace; in cooler weather, the pups can warm their paws by the wood burner.
Gather friends, family and four-pawed pals at this drool-inducing hideaway, where the kitchen/diner delivers bow-wow-factor views of the garden and pool beyond. Enjoy drinks at the breakfast bar or home-cooked meals at the dining suite and the dogs can stay close. Three bedrooms off the entrance hallway mean they’re near overnight too. One has a super-king-size bed, an exposed brick wall, and an en-suite shower room. Another room has a king-size bed, and the third is a twin zip-and-link that converts to a super-king-size upon request. A smart family bathroom, utility room and a separate cloakroom complete the ground-floor comfort. Upstairs, the elegant lounge has a large TV and a contemporary wood burner. At one end, balcony doors frame far-reaching country views. The master bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling with rustic wooden beams and a spa-like en-suite. The beach-house styling continues outdoors, where a large deck area extends across the garden which is enclosed by a traditional dry stone wall. The dogs can doze while you sway in the hammock or take a dip in the heated swimming pool. Afterwards, fire up the BBQ and stargaze by the fire pit.
Let the dogs lead the way into Rock – the village has a vibrant social scene and golden sands which, like those at neighbouring Porthilly Cove, are pet-friendly all year. For a longer leg-stretch, follow the South West Coast Path to Daymer Bay (2.5 miles). Alternatively, take the pups on the ferry to Padstow and they’ll go mutts for all the fishy harbour scents.
