Set within 130 acres of open farmland, this delightful barn conversion is a romantic rural retreat for couples and their four-legged friends. With a network of trails direct from the doorstep, dogs will never tire of the sandy beaches, coves and cliff-top paths that abound this area. When you’re not tucking into a hearty meal at one of the local dog-friendly pubs, cosy up beneath the exposed beams in the lounge area and settle in for a night in front of the TV with your pooch at your feet.

Tastefully converted, this former barn offers open-plan accommodation spread across one floor that is accessible for all. Cook up a storm in the modern and stylish kitchen before dining next door or stepping out into the enclosed garden for a BBQ as the sun goes down. At the end of a long day, rest weary heads in the light and airy double bedroom, with king sized bed, while your four-legged friends dream of the day ahead in the lounge next door. Beyond the garden, guests are invited to explore the farm and say hello to the resident cows and sheep.

Surrounded by acres of sprawling farmland, this property enjoys an idyllic rural location just a mile from Portreath on the Cornish coast. Stroll to the beach with the dogs and enjoy fish and chips gazing out to sea or travel a little further to reach the vast expanse of dog-friendly sandy beach at Gwithian. Also within easy reach and well worth a visit are St Ives, The Eden Project and Flambards Theme Park.

Lovely cottage, great location. I liked the fact that it was on a farm and we could walk on the farm track to Tehidy Country Park. So convenient if you have a dog. Owners were friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Little Merrose was fantastic. The cottage had everything we needed and the family were very friendly and welcoming. Brilliant location as so many lovely beaches close by and the tehidy woods are a joy - especially if you are a dog! The secure garden at Little Merrose was so useful. Would 100% recommend this little cottage.
