Whether you are a confirmed sea dog or prefer padding across rolling countryside, this quiet corner of Cornwall offers the best of both worlds. Based in this charming former piggery on the fringes of Penryn, you’ll soon be enjoying a multitude of scenic walks and sampling local delicacies such as fresh seafood and mouth-watering Cornish ice cream. Perfectly suited to families and sleeping four guests along with a waggy-tailed companion, it is an ideal choice for a relaxing escape.

Characterised by high vaulted ceilings, wooden beams and bright decor, the property effortlessly combines traditional style with contemporary chic. Let sleeping dogs lie by the wood burner as you sip your morning coffee on the sofas, listening to the cheerful sound of birdsong. Breakfast like kings around the dining table, sizzling up something special in the country-cottage-style kitchen. After a busy day, the elegant bathroom is a welcome sanctuary to soothe tired bones, and the two cosy bedrooms guarantee a peaceful night’s slumber. Positioned in a courtyard setting next to the owner’s residence, you’ll have your own private outside space consisting of a gorgeous terrace with garden furniture and a BBQ, just the ticket for balmy summer evenings.

Sniff out adventures near and far, venturing to Falmouth 3.5 miles away for a stroll around the harbour, or soak up some local history with a visit to the imposing Pendennis Castle. There are lots of beautiful beaches along this stretch of coastline, and hidden gems such as Polgwidden Cove, 6.5 miles away, which has the added bonus of being hound friendly all year round. Accessed through Trebah Gardens, it is an idyllic day trip to add to your itinerary.

From the arrival instructions to our departure communication we were 100 percent more than satisfied with the whole experience.

There were patio doors leading onto our private garden, outfitted with rattan type furniture- Paradise! Good parking too, 2 metres from the front door! When we had a query about the oven settings the owners both came round and helped within two minutes. We struck up a nice friendship which means wed aim to come back here on our next trip to Cornwall. For us the location was fine- Quiet and private but within easy reach of Falmouth and its facilities. Considering how much weve paid for vacation properties in Falmouth before, this lovely place is fantastic value all round. Well be back! Hide

We had a lovely time, it was the perfect location being close to Falmouth but away from the business. We loved the private access to our own garden as well as the log burner. Very baby friendly with our 11 month old, with high chair and travel cot provided. Would recommend to family and friends.

We had great time at Olive cottage with our dog Tovie. Spacious and comfortable and very clean, on arrival there were home baked scones and a loaf, a lovely touch. The secure out door space was perfect for our small lurcher. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and considerate. We will be recommending Olive Cottage to all our dog owning friends.
