Property code: OC-82227

Spacious and stylish, this fabulous cottage set in a complex of properties in Looe sleeps eight people over four bedrooms and welcomes two four-legged friends. The perfect place for a group getaway from it all, there’s ample room – indoors and out – for all of your loved ones and their pups. You’ll adore taking a well-earned dip in the outdoor hot tub after a long walk on the moor, and your pups will love playing with the kids in the enclosed garden/patio.

Step inside this lovely cottage and you’ll find yourself in a spacious porch – the perfect place to store all of those dog-walking essentials after a delightful stroll on Bodmin Moor. Head down the hallway and you’ll discover a stylish kitchen/diner, where you can cook up a storm for your nearest and dearest. Alternatively, head outside, strike up the BBQ and dine alfresco on the patio. Your pups can run freely on the lawn while the kids play in the outdoor playhouse. After dinner, chill out in one of the two living rooms, challenge the kids to a game or two in the games room, or stay out in the garden and take a soothing dip in the hot tub. At the end of a fabulous day, there are four stylish bedrooms to choose from.

Downberry Beach (13.5 miles) is a big hit with dog walkers. Dog friendly all year round, it’s nicely sheltered and there’s even a nice dog-friendly pub just above the beach. There are also some great dog-friendly eateries in the picture-postcard village of Looe (11.5 miles), so pull up a chair, order some lunch, and watch the boats bobbing on the bay.

Wonderfully comfortable, home from home. We loved every minute of our stay here, from the delicious complimentary Cornish Cream Tea, on arrival to the fabulous hot tub at the end of a day walking on the South West Coast Path. The house is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. Mandy is a lovely host who responded quickly to all enquiries. We hRead moreope to return very soon.

The cottage was lovely, clean and well equipped. Pub a short walk, but no pavement for most of it, so be careful in the dark. We have stayed in both properties the owners have, and would fully recommend a stay .

Overall the holiday home was lovely and comfortable and a lot bigger then we expected. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect. The home was very clean and rooms were all spacious and beds were very comfortable. We did have an issue with the hot tub and how clean it was and although the levels were checked, it still wasn't very clean. The house iRead moretself wasn't really near anything and we had to drive out a lot especially having young children. There are no shops within an east walking distance.

Response from Holiday Cottages : We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Polhendra, but sorry to hear that the hot tub did not remain clean throughout your stay. The water is changed between every booking, but will only remain clean if guests shower prior to use and keep it clear of grass, sunscreen, etc. Hide

Our stay at Polhendra was fabulous. The property was exactly as on the website, clean, extremely spacious for our party of 7 and our dog and the amenities were amazing. Even throws and towels for our fur baby! Any issues were resolved immediately, kettle broke and replaced within hrs!! The welcome pack of cream tea for all and ginger biscuits was aRead more nice touch too. The location was great, in a quiet spot and loads of parking space, we had 3 cars. Would highly recommend.
