Surf, sand and tail-wagging clifftop walks await with a stay at this stylish house above Mawgan Porth Beach on the North Cornwall coast. Part of a new development just 200 metres from the shoreline, it boasts panoramic views towards the sand and Atlantic Ocean. Two canine companions are welcome to join you for a family or friends’ get-together where blissful beach days roll into relaxed evenings padding around the garden or dozing by the Smart TV.
Scandi-chic interiors make the first-floor open-plan living space a pleasure to unwind in, with a chaise-longue sofa to stretch out on and a breakfast bar where your dogs can hover in anticipation of holiday treats. Bi-fold doors open onto a balcony, a lovely spot to sit with a coffee or after-dinner cheeseboard. Downstairs, you’ll find a family shower room and all three bedrooms, two of which open onto the back garden. An outdoor shower, accessed through the neighbouring property's gate, is handy for rinsing off sandy paws after beach trips. The path from the car park to the front door is flanked by a low wall with a 20-foot drop on the far side, and the main approach to the property is through the neighbouring garden, so dogs and children should be supervised.
Mawgan Porth Beach is a broad stretch of white sand where your boisterous ball chasers can run off the lead whatever time of year you’re visiting. The South West Coast Path offers invigorating walks in both directions – 2 miles south towards Watergate Bay and 2.5 miles north to the dramatic cliff formations at Bedruthan Steps. Curious canines will also relish a day trip to Padstow (10 miles) for leisurely strolls around the picture-postcard harbour and doggy ice cream treats.
