Just moments from a pet-friendly beach, this stunning hillside property provides the perfect base as a dog walkers’ retreat. After a long day of walkies on the Cornish coast or visiting local fishing villages, head home to enjoy an evening tipple on the beautiful terrace, soaking in far-reaching sea views. Presenting two bedrooms, one of which is a versatile zip-and-link twin/super-king size, the home happily sleeps four guests and two beloved canine companions.

This pretty cottage has a distinct coastal theme throughout, proudly featuring sea blue soft furnishings in bright and airy rooms. In the spacious lounge be sure to swing open the bi-fold doors, letting salty sea air flood the room and the sunlight pour in. Enjoy al fresco drinks on the terrace whilst Fido and Rover gaze out to the coast, before retiring indoors to watch a film on the TV. Prepare dinner for your muttley crew in the modern kitchen, dining with remarkable views in the sunny conservatory. We’ve no doubt you’ll have puppy dog eyes staring up at you from beneath the dining room table, so be sure to pack your dogs’ bowls and beds to set up their canine camp in the kitchen.

Wander along to Downderry Beach, less than 500 metres from your door and a wonderful dog-friendly spot for fetching tennis balls and retrieving sticks. Explore the stunning South West Coast Path at nearby Polperro Heritage Coast (7 miles) and Rame Head Heritage Coast (11 miles), or head inland to visit the Tamar Valley (18.5 miles) or the Dartmoor National Park (30 miles). Having explored various rural spots, man and dog alike will adore a trip to nearby Plymouth (24 miles).

We loved staying here. The property is perfectly set up with everything you need. Fabulous views from the deck make it tempting to stay home rather than visit local sites, with the beach, the pub and Bewshea's an easy walk. Even a decent cafe was not too far along the seafront.
