Savour some quality canine time with your waggy-tailed chum when you book this gorgeous cottage in St Ives. Once home to a fisherman, it now makes a great base for those wishing to discover West Cornwall with a four-pawed pal. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom hideaway, which has a main cottage and annexe, encompasses a sun-soaked patio where you and your delighted dog can enjoy the salty sea air together.
Follow furry feet up three steps to enter the cottage, then stroll inside together to discover rustic features such as whitewashed stonework and beams. Top up doggy food and water bowls in the kitchen/diner, where you can also warm the freshly baked Cornish pasties you have bought in town and set the table for lunch. While away evenings together in the cosy lounge. Stream your favourite boxset on the Smart TV while your happy hound curls up in a quiet corner. Leave him to doze when you climb the cottage-style staircase to the first floor. Here, you have a lovely double bedroom, plus a bunk bedroom that is perfect for youngsters. There is also a family shower room. Your other bedroom and bathroom are in the annexe. This is accessed via a footpath and features a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Sip your first cup of tea of the morning on the patio, while your pal waits patiently for the dog-friendly activities of the day to begin. Guests have a parking space, 1 mile from the cottage, but can unload and load 300 metres away.
Amble 0.5 miles to the beach at Bamaluz, where pets are welcome all year round, or to the greenery of the headland known as the Island. Grab the dog lead, lace up your boots and head along the South West Coast Path together.
