This welcoming cottage in Porthcothan is a great pick for a seaside escape among family and friends, with your pets in tow. You’ll be under 1 mile from the dog-friendly beach at Porthcothan, making morning walkies on the sand part of everyday life. The South West Coast Path (0.5 miles) provides access to miles of sniff-worthy trails along the dramatic north coast, including the popular ‘Seven Bays for Seven Days’ route, accessible at Trevose Head (4 miles).
Inside, the cottage combines its historic roots with a colourful Art Deco twist, creating a cosy and relaxed space for you and your doggies. The farmhouse-style kitchen is the heart of the home, with a breakfast table for easy meals before heading out with the dogs. This links through to a spacious lounge/diner where you can put your feet up after a coastal walk. A single step from the kitchen leads to the ground-floor king-size bedroom, while the children’s bedroom, reached via the nearby hallway, includes a single bed plus a mid-sleeper bunk. Upstairs, there’s a double bedroom next to the family bathroom, which has an electric shower over the bath. Dogs will absolutely love running around in the fully enclosed grassy garden, where there’s outdoor furniture for a relaxed drink at the end of the day. Private parking for two cars is also provided.
In the nearby area, St Merryn (1.5 miles) is handy for a pub lunch after a walk, while Padstow (4.5 miles) is a great spot for harbour strolls and an abundance of tempting food stops. For family days out, the Royal Cornwall Showground (8.5 miles) hosts regular events and markets where your four-legged companion is welcome to join in the fun.
