Property code: OC-89941

With the dog-friendly beach of Watergate Bay less than a mile from your door, this former dairy barn is the perfect base for a fun-filled family holiday to the West Country. Enjoy sociable open-plan living, two separate patio areas and plenty of space to relax and unwind. With one or two canine companions welcome to join you, your entire pack can discover the delights of Cornwall together.

Featuring a reverse-level layout, the heart of this wonderful retreat is the full-length living space with a vaulted ceiling overhead, featuring stone walls and wooden floorboards creating a welcoming atmosphere full of rustic charm. Relax on comfortable sofa seating whilst Rover snoozes in front of the warming wood burner or gather around the spacious dining table to plan the next day's activities over a delicious meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Alternatively, dine alfresco in the patio garden, making the most of the gas BBQ on a warm summer evening and watch Fido happily explore the fully enclosed borders. When it comes time to retire to bed or basket, three attractive ground-floor bedrooms await; a charming master with its own en-suite shower room and a king bed; an inviting double with a super-king-size bed; and a bunk room with a double base bed that children are sure to adore. A stylish family bathroom completes this lovely holiday home.

The cottage is part of a complex located on a friendly working farm, and you'll find both a children's play area and several beautiful fishing lakes on site. Watergate Bay, one of Cornwall's best-known and most loved beaches, lies less than a mile from your door. Stroll down the hill to enjoy a day of seaside fun building sandcastles, rock pooling, swimming and sunbathing on this glorious beach that welcomes four-legged friends year-round. The popular beachside town of Newquay is 3.5 miles away, and though it may be best known as the surfing capital of England, there’s much more to the town than beaches. Make sure to sample a traditional Cornish pasty, sparing a nibble for the hound, or take your pup on a journey back in time with a steam train ride at Newquay’s Lappa Valley. The railway has large fields at the top of the valley where dogs can be let off the lead for a run, you'll find water bowls located around the site and there's even a doggy biscuit or two available!

We had a wonderful stay in Mowhay. It was so warm and the owners are so nice and welcoming. It is in a great location to explore the area, and after wet, windy and cold days, it was lovely to go back to. It's lovely and light, with lots of room and is brilliantly equipped. We had a great evening in front of the wood burner playing Cornwall monopolyRead more! We'll definitely be returning! Hide

Absolutely lovely place to stay! The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were really comfortable. Ideal place for dog owners as there were great walks around the lakes within the site. The owners live on the farm so are always around if you need them. Really friendly family. We loved it!

We had a great stay here with our 2 dogs. The living area was big but still cosy. The bedrooms were a good size although we only used one of them. It was good to have the outdoor space for the dogs and to sit out on a summer's evening. The cottage was in a good location for us. The grounds were huge so it was good to walk around them with our dogs.Read more It was also easy to get around all the places that we needed to visit. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
