Escape with your loved ones to this beautiful converted barn sitting in a complex of period properties just 4 miles outside Padstow. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s perfect for small families or groups who are looking for a historic retreat to call home while they explore the North Cornwall coast with their pups by their side. Spend happy days watching surfers at Constantine Bay while your pups burn off some energy on the wide expanse of golden sand; and in the evening, come home to host a chilled-out al fresco feast on your cottage’s pretty patio. Park in your private spot (there’s room for two cars) and step inside your beautiful 18th-century cottage. Take a moment to admire the high ceilings, wooden beans, whitewashed walls and rustic-chic styling in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, before you settle down to a sophisticated dinner at in the large dining table at the heart of the light-filled space. Alternatively, open the French doors and step out onto the patio to dine alfresco while you enjoy the expansive country views. Afterwards, pour yourself a glass of wine and wait for the stars to come out in the shared garden, or cosy up with a glass of wine in the lounge area while your pups sleep at your feet. At the end of the day, there are two lovely bedrooms waiting for you – a double and a twin. A sleek family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Head to Padstow (4 miles) with your dogs to sip your morning coffee and then set off for walkies along the scenic Camel Trail. Or make a beeline for Harlyn Bay (4.5 miles) to let your pups run across the wide sandy beach, which is dog-friendly all year round.
