Property code: OC-91927

The whole family will love this contemporary, luxurious holiday cottage, which boasts flexible sleeping options, a spacious garden and a toasty wood burner for those evenings in. Take a trip to beautiful Cornwall to explore the country and coast with eight of your friends, family and your four-legged friend.

Hang up the leads at the door and continue into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. You and your pup will instantly feel at home with the number of stylish features, original beams, exposed brick and the gentle warmth of the underfloor heating toasting your chilly toes. Unwind in one of two living areas, one with plush sofas and Smart TVs, whilst the snug has the added luxury of a crackling wood burner, which we're sure your pooch will enjoy snoozing in front of. Dish up dinner for you and your pooch in the well-equipped kitchen space, and serve up at the dining table, breakfast bar, or in the enclosed garden. The incredibly spacious lawn is the perfect place for the adults to savour after-dinner drinks whilst your furry-pawed pal can run freely and within earshot. When you begin to feel dog-tired, there's a choice of four comfortable bedrooms; one king-size, one double, one super-king-size zip-and-link and one king-size zip-and-link.

Cornwall is famed for its jaw-dropping beaches – Widemouth Bay, Summerleaze Beach, Crooklets Beach and Water Cove Beach are all within 5 miles of the property and provide long days of frolicking on the sand. Sniff out rugged woodland, dramatic hilltops and stunning views by picking up the South West Coast Path at Bude (2.5 miles) and heading south towards Widemouth Bay. When your pup needs a rest from the excitement, entertain the children with a trip to The Monster Slip And Slide Bude (2 miles) or Zen Jungle Retreat (8 miles). Round off the day with a trip to the local dog-friendly pub for stone-baked pizzas, pints of ale and something delicious for the doggo.

Both the house and the location were fantastic. We have been walking the South West Coast Path and the Tamara Way, staying in different houses and locations along the way. We agreed that Leaferne was amongst the best that we have stayed in, if not the best. So many nice touches, the showers were great, nice bedding and plenty of stylish mugs!

Fantastic cottage. Incredibly spacious rooms with modern and high quality fixtures and fittings throughout, wonderful large garden ideal for kids, with comfortable furniture on the sun-trap patio, and an easy to use gas barbecue.

Located in a lovely village, the cottage has been converted to a high standard, plenty of room for a family of 5, has everything you could need (the radiator in the cloakroom, great after soggy walks) and the pooch loved the spacious garden.
