This beautifully converted barn, set on a working family farm, is perfect for a romantic Cornwall getaway with your greatest love of all…your dog. With one modern bedroom offering space for two guests, this intimate bolthole is ideal for couples looking to treat their hound to some fresh country air. And with seaside strolls on the picturesque beaches of Bude only 6 miles away, this cottage is perfectly placed to explore Devon and the North Cornwall coast.

Inside, contemporary touches give this classic barn a lovely modern feel. Step (or scurry) into the stylish open-plan kitchen and living area and curl up on the cosy sofa while Fido settles down by the rustic wood burner. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day by the coast. Sandy paws, meanwhile, will have no problem on the wooden floors. If mucky pups do need a wash, however, the cottage features a spacious bath in the en-suite bathroom. That leads on from the light and airy bedroom which is perfect for enjoying lazy mornings with a pooch at your feet. Outside, sun-loving mutts will adore the enclosed gravel courtyard. There’s nowhere better to enjoy an ice-cold drink while your pup soaks up some sun. It is kindly requested, however, that while on other parts of the farm, roaming Rovers are kept on a lead.

Bustling with independent shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs, Bude (6 miles) is a must-see for visitors. Grab your Frisbee and take to the sprawling flats of Sandymouth beach (5.5 miles). Closer to home, the village of Kilkhampton (1 mile) offers local amenities and two dog-friendly inns.

The cottage was cozy, very clean. Lovely touch with wine, cookies, flowers, teabags and milk. Relaxing to sit outside patio area and listen to nature. We had a great chat with Peter on morning we left, showing us the animals and explaining about the history of the buildings. We will be booking again.

Owners are very friendly. The photos were taken obviously when it was just finished. There are things that need replacing the table outside was very rusty and part of the frame sticking out .I do know it's dog friendly ,but I did some washing and unfortunately it came out covered in dog hair .So I had to bring the washing back to do at home .

We loved our stay at Bootlace barn, it was clean comfy and had everything we needed including a few extras.We took our 2 dogs and there was a large enclosed courtyard at the property we could use aswell as some gardens they could go to. Bude town centre and beach is only a 15minutes drive away, and there were local shops and pubs much closer. The oRead morewners were very welcoming and there if we needed anything. Hide

Fantastic week at Bootlace Barn with our 2 small dogs. Peter and Demelza are two of the most welcoming hosts we've ever met. Cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Plenty to do and see in Bude and surrounding areas, but absolute highlight of the week was bottle feeding the lambs.
