A true character cottage just moments from Porthtowan Beach, this charming retreat offers the perfect base for a wide range of canine-compatible adventures on Cornwall’s north coast. The property sleeps six guests and welcomes up to three dogs, ensuring no pup is left behind when planning your next UK getaway. A top-dog accommodation choice, the cottage features rustic design elements, including exposed stone walls and high ceilings with original beams - details that the human members of the pack will love. After a day on the beach, let Fido and friends claim a cosy spot in front of the wood burner, warming wet fur and sandy paws.
Winding staircases and quirky nooks and crannies define this three-storey abode, yet it offers an impressive sense of space throughout. Begin your stay by parking in the ample off-road parking area, then step inside with Rover leading the way. The reverse-level layout places three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, including a handy wet room that’s ideal for post-surf rinses or dealing with muddy dogs. The open-plan first floor is made for socialising, with plenty of comfortable seating, a wood burner and a contemporary kitchen. Up another flight of stairs, the top-floor lounge sits beneath the eaves, boasting an L-shaped sofa and Smart TV. Outside, private decking with outdoor seating, a pizza oven and glorious sunset views complete this remarkable property.
Porthtowan Beach lies just 50 metres away – a prime surfing spot with shimmering rock pools, sandy shores and turquoise waters. Dogs are welcome here, although some seasonal restrictions apply. For your daily walkies, follow the coastal path to the spectacular viewpoint at Sally’s Bottom (1.5 miles) before continuing to the charming village of Portreath (3.5 miles). A little further afield, St Ives (18 miles) makes a fantastic day trip, offering a wealth of dog-friendly pubs, cafes and eateries to enjoy on a sunny afternoon.
