This ground-floor apartment in Porthowan is set within a clifftop development on Cornwall’s rugged north overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. With gorgeous panoramic views, it’s an excellent spot for couples or small families keen for a holiday with up to two four-legged friends. You’ll have panoramic views across the bay for a scenic start to each day, and have direct access to the South West Coast Path for woof-worthy walking opportunities with your pets.
Inside this beautifully presented home, large windows fill the open-plan living area with light, while patio doors leading to the balcony frame the sea views. After long days out in the fresh air, settle into the comfy seating in front of the Smart TV, with your happy dog at your feet, and tuck into meals at the table for four. There’s also a handy breakfast bar seating two. There are two bedrooms – a king-size with floor-to-ceiling windows and an en-suite shower room with WC and a second sea-view bedroom, also with floor-to-ceiling windows, which has flexible zip-and-link beds. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, relax with your wet-nosed chums on the balcony, which has seating for four and a coffee table, or spend time together in the generous, paved courtyard, furnished with another table and chairs plus two sun loungers. You’ll also have an outdoor shower and footpath down to the beach (where dog restrictions apply in summer), shared with other guests. Private parking is available for one car in the car park, accessed via 63 external steps.
Porthtowan is a brilliant base for energetic dogs and their humans, with the beach below offering plenty of scope for seaside fun. Surf hire and lessons are available if you fancy taking to the waves, while the village’s cafés, pubs and restaurants provide places to refuel afterwards. For a longer outing, join the South West Coast Path and follow the clifftops towards neighbouring coves and headlands. St Agnes lies 3 miles away along the route, with further options for food and drink waiting at the end of your walk.
