With a doggy paddock for exercise right on site, this riverside lodge in South Cornwall makes a natural base for four-legged explorers and their humans. It’s in a peaceful spot 5 miles from Looe, a lively fishing town with sandy beaches, a bustling harbour and plenty of interesting sniff spots along its narrow streets. The two-bedroom home is ideal for a group of family and friends, with a calm waterside setting ideal for enjoying slow mornings and gentle evening strolls. It’s on a wider site that includes shared spaces such as a playpark for youngsters and an on-site shop.
The stylish wooden has an open-plan layout, giving you and up to three doggies plenty of space to stretch out and spend quality time together. A lounge area with a Smart TV sets you up for cosy family viewings, while the dining table is fab for leisurely meals. Doors from here open out to your own private, securely fenced deck, where your furry friends can potter while you sit back with a coffee or fire up the BBQ. There are two bedrooms – a double and a twin – plus a shower room with a rainfall shower and WC. Outside, you’ll also have a copper bath and open-air shower for a little extra holiday indulgence. Private parking is provided for one car.
The surrounding coastline is a dream for dogs that love a good walk and a paddle. Pretty Polperro (4.5 miles) has car-free lanes and easy access to the coast path, providing plenty of scenic routes for energetic paws. Hannafore Beach (7 miles), welcomes dogs all year round. For a low-key day out, hop on the ferry (3 miles) and head to Fowey (4 miles), where you’ll find a historic harbour town filled with independent shops and waterfront walks.
