Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Carbis Bay (6mls E), Cornwall

A countryside haven in the heart of coastal Cornwall - experience the best of both worlds. This stylish stone cottage finds itself in the heart of a working farm, perfectly tucked away with a bubbling hot tub and rural views as far as the eye can see. To soak up some Cornish culture, you're only 12 miles from the bustling shops and galleries of St Ives.

Open and spacious with an undeniable countryside charm, the traditional nods and grey-washed kitchen pairs perfectly with the colourful furnishings and highlights of wood - enjoy cooking up a feast in a real farmhouse kitchen. Then sink into the warm waters of the hot tub, watch the sun set over the hills and enjoy a glass of something bubbly, or snuggle up with a blanket and shut off from the world outside. In the midst of Western Cornwall, you're never far from sparkling waters and white sands.

Head north and explore Gwithian Bay, a gorgeous stretch of beach perfect for a spot of sea swimming. Head south 12 miles and take to the surf at Praa Sands, or simply stay local, grab your wellies and embark on muddy woodland walks straight from your doorstep.
