Property code: OC-B584376

Treat your special someone to a romantic coastal escape at this beautiful boho-chic cabin just 1 miles from Porthcothan Bay. Sleeping two people in one super-king-size bedroom and welcoming two canine companions, it's perfect for couples who are searching for a chic, dog-friendly bolthole to call home while they explore the quiet coves, surf beaches and dramatic headlands between Mawgan Porth and Padstow with their pups by their side. Wake up and set off for walkies along the South West Coast Path to the dramatic sea stacks at Bedruthan Steps (3.5 miles), or saddle up on a bike to pedal along the peaceful Camel Trail (8 miles). In the evening, come home to fire up the plancha grill on your private deck and dine alfresco under the fairy lights while your pups run in the enclosed garden below.

Pull up in your private parking spot (there’s room for two cars) and step inside this characterful cabin, where rustic and contemporary touches combine to create a genuinely distinctive coastal-themed interior. Double patio doors leading into the enclosed garden flood the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with natural light. Cosy up beside the wood burner to watch a film on the Smart TV, or rustle up some dinner and share a romantic meal in the dining area. Alternatively, head out onto the large decked area to fire up the plancha grill on the gas BBQ and dine alfresco under the stars while your pups explore the garden around you. When the day is done, retire to the super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be converted into a twin on request). A smart bathroom with shower over the bath completes the interior.

Set off for walkies along the dog-friendly sands at Porthcothan Bay (1 mile), where the deep inlet is flanked by rocky headlands and the receding tide reveals a broad sweep of sand. Or follow the South West Coast Path north to Treyarnon Bay (1.5 miles), where golden sand, shallow rock pools and a natural tidal swimming pool await.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lobster Pot. It was in a great location for exploring some of the many coves and was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The owner Ollie was very friendly and welcoming and shared some recommendations with us which were appreciated. We would definitely stay there again.
