Pick up the dog lead and stride straight off with your faithful friend at your heel when you stay at this enticing Cornish cottage. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, pup-friendly hideaway nestles with two other holiday homes on a smallholding near Porkellis, 8.5 miles from Falmouth. With a lawned garden accessed by stone steps, it is perfect for energetic pets who also enjoy coastal walks and splashing in the sea.
Follow your four-pawed pal up the granite steps and let yourself into your new home from home. Here, you will admire the fresh ambience created by the whitewashed stone walls and beamed ceilings, while your chum pads about the space. At the heart of the cottage is an open-plan lounge/kitchen where you can relax together before preparing well-earned doggy dinners and rustling up snacks and meals for the other members of your party. The separate dining room looks out onto the greenery of the garden. Open the door in here on warm days so everyone can stroll outside or head back into the lounge to sit back and watch TV. Make your way up to the first floor of the cottage to find the double bedroom and the twin. One of these has an en-suite shower room and the other an en-suite bathroom. Spill out into the garden as often as possible, descending more stone steps to the patio. Light the BBQ then throw a ball for your chum on the lawn as your supper sizzles. There is private, off-road parking here for one car.
Pack your beach bag and venture 7.5 miles to the lovely beach at Porthleven, where there are stretches that your pet can race freely across. Pick up the South West Coast Path here too and follow it for a stretch with your happy hound
