This romantic retreat for two also welcomes a four-pawed pal for a holiday that’s really worth barking about. With delightful rural views, the beautifully designed shepherd’s hut has a private hot tub and a fire pit, and makes a superb base for endless walks in the North Cornwall coast and countryside.
A charming and comfortable getaway, the hut blends elegant style with an array of modern conveniences. Bound up the four steps to the front door with your furry friend at your side, and discover the bright, open-plan living space, which has timber panelling and a high, barrel-shaped ceiling. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to whip up delicious meals, including a dishwasher, and there’s a dining table with bench seating for those days when you decide to eat indoors. The cosy lounge invites you to relax, with soft seating and a Smart TV. At the far end of the hut, the king-size bedroom feels calm and airy, and has lovely garden views, while the shower room features a rainfall shower and WC. For canine playtime, the outdoor space has a large lawn that’s perfect for games of fetch. You’ll also have a furnished patio, charcoal BBQ and fire pit, plus a hot tub in which to unwind after long coastal walks. Private parking for one car is available.
Set on a family-run farm, the hut is just 5 miles from the magical Tintagel Castle, which welcomes hounds on leads. Check tide times and from here you can climb down the steps to the small, sandy beach at Tintagel Haven, also known as Merlin’s Cove, and experience the mysterious atmosphere of Merlin’s Cave. Follow the coast path and you’ll reach Trebarwith Strand in 3.5 miles, where your hound can run on the beach all year round.
