For the ultimate country retreat, head to this beautiful chocolate-box cottage that is packed full of period features and is set in its own idyllic gardens. A couple accompanied by their four-legged friend will find this property a throwback to another time, but with all the contemporary comforts. It is surrounded by the gorgeous countryside that Cornwall is famous for, with views of rolling hills from the windows.
This gorgeous retreat offers a truly rural experience and the oak beams, rough stone features and a traditional wood burning stove only add to its charm. The lounge/diner is a wonderful setting for quiet evenings in, where you and your canine companion can relax in the warmth of the wood burner. The utility room that joins the kitchen is a great space to exchange muddy wellies for cosy slippers and towel off dirty paws before you settle in for the night. Upstairs, the bedroom is a comfortable king-size and a separate dressing room could be a haven of privacy for a tired Mutley. Outside, the patio and large lawn are surrounded by meadows, a peaceful spot for a BBQ on those long summer evenings.
The village of Lanner is within half a mile and offers everything you could want for a quiet stay in Cornwall; with a beach, the post office, the village shop and The Fox and Hound (a dog-friendly pub) on your doorstep. Under 4 miles away is the historic site of Carn Brae Castle, though its modern-day incarnation is a restaurant, the area offers a beautiful walk that allows you to literally step into Cornwall’s past as you visit the 14th Century castle, Neolithic wells, iron age huts and legends that predate them all.
