Beautiful Harlyn Bay – just a mile from this bespoke barn conversion – welcomes salty sea dogs year-round while just a little further away, Padstow is a starting point for traffic-free walkies in the countryside. Wear out the pups then unwind; alongside its drool-inducing social space, a sunny terrace and wood burner add all-weather appeal to this high-end hideaway.
One of an exclusive collection of former farm properties, this gorgeous holiday home is enhanced by a huge glass atrium above its open-plan social space. Together with dual-aspect patio doors, this impressive rooflight fills the kitchen, dining and lounge areas with natural light. For a cosy after-dark ambience, fire up the wood burner and settle down to watch TV with the dogs at your feet. Once you’ve bid your four-pawed pals goodnight, head off to your choice of two blissful bedrooms. The ground-floor bedroom has use of a contemporary shower room, while upstairs the master bedroom sits beneath the eaves and boasts a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, which for flexibility can be arranged as twins on request. An elegant en-suite heightens the sanctuary-like feel. The property nestles within the surrounding grounds, its private terrace edged by a sloping lawn that creates privacy while you enjoy al fresco food and drinks. Shared gardens offer further fresh-air fun; if you’d like to holiday as part of a larger group, other properties are available that sleep a further 12 guests; please ask us for details.
Park, unpack and explore at your leisure: the pups will go mutts for ball games and doggie paddles at Harlyn Bay which – like neighbouring Trevone – is less than a mile from your doorstep. Foodie-favourite Padstow (2 miles) features a lively harbour, a fantastic selection of restaurants, and is also the starting point for the Camel Trail, which follows the course of an old railway line to Wadebridge and then Bodmin. For further tail-wagging walks, follow the South West Coast Path around Trevose Head (2 miles).
