Spend many happy hours frolicking on the beaches of North Cornwall with your playful pups. This converted barn for up to four people and two canine companions sits in a peaceful rural spot on a farm, 400 metres from the sandy shore at Mawgan Porth. Amble down to the year-round dog-friendly stretch of white sand and let your canines off the lead to run free in the surf, before returning home to the comfort of a roaring Swedish wood burner to warm up feet and paws.
Catch glimpses of the sea from the open-plan living area, where skylights set between original beams flood the space with natural light. During your downtime, let your contented canines snooze while you sit down to dinner or play a game at the table. When it comes to relaxing outdoors, the master bedroom has patio doors that open onto a grassed area. Here, your pups can breathe in fresh sea air and snaffle a treat as you enjoy al fresco dining at the picnic bench. A surf shower shared with other guests in the development is handy for rinsing off sandy paws after a day at the beach.
Grab your leads for invigorating clifftop walks along the South West Coast Path, connecting Bedruthan Steps 2.5 miles to the north with Watergate Bay 2 miles to the south. It’s a spectacular stretch of coastline, shaped by dramatic sea stacks and panoramic coastal views. Your dogs are welcome to join you for a picnic at National Trust site Carnewas at Bedruthan, or you can head back to Mawgan Porth’s beachfront, which offers a choice of dog friendly cafes for a well earned treat.
