A hidden gem in rural Cornwall, this cosy bolthole for couples and their four-legged pal is surrounded by fields stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a place you’ll look forward to returning to after days spent basking on the beach, roaming the countryside and overindulging on cream teas. The open-plan layout gives you space to potter at your leisure, and the underfloor heating will quickly warm up feet and paws that have been for a paddle in the chilly sea.
With its quirky stable door, wooden furniture and welcome hamper, this converted barn is full of rustic charm. Further evidence of its blissful countryside setting is found in the gorgeous grounds that you’re free to explore. Discover a summerhouse, pond, ornamental flowerbeds and a kitchen garden – and perhaps let your pet rub noses with the owners’ friendly dog. Spend nights curled up on the sofa watching a rom-com while Fido dozes on the rug dreaming of more exciting adventures in the wilds of Cornwall. When your day is done, dive into the crisp white sheets of the super king-size bed.
The property is within 14 miles of the sandy beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay. Dogs are welcome throughout the year on the southern section of the beach at Black Rock. For long hikes inland, both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor are around 18 miles away and offer a wonderful mix of terrain to really engage your inquisitive hound. Closer to home, celebrate the romance of a bygone era with a journey through stunning Cornish countryside on the Launceston Steam Railway (5 miles) with your beloved pet by your side.
