Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Crackington Haven (4mls SE), Cornwall

Just 5 miles from the North Cornish coast is this delightful detached holiday home with stunning countryside views. Sleeping two, plus two four-legged friends, this is the perfect base for romantic getaways. Spend your days walking the South West Coast Path, relaxing on a sandy beach or browsing the charming fishing villages before returning to this perfectly formed bolthole for a BBQ with a view in the large enclosed garden.

Modern, spacious and full of natural light, this single-storey cottage has everything you could need and more. Whip up romantic meals for two in the modern kitchen area of the generous open-plan living space, before curling up on the L-shaped sofa to admire the beautiful rural view through the patio doors beyond. Elegantly decorated in calming muted tones, the king-size bedroom opens through glazed doors onto a patio – perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning.

The enclosed garden offers plenty of space for dogs to explore while you dine alfresco, watching the sheep and lambs in the neighbouring field. Set just back from the sea, this property offers the best of both worlds when it comes to exploring Cornwall’s rugged coastline and rolling countryside. The nearest beach at Crackington Haven, just 5 miles away, offers a vast stretch of golden sand, a friendly pub and cafe.

For four-legged friends, choose between the dog-friendly Northcott Mouth (13 miles), Sandymouth (14.5 miles) and Duckpool (15 miles) among others, or join the South West Coast Path to discover secluded coves and plenty of interesting smells. With so much to see and do in the area, other popular hotspots include the fishing village of Port Isaac (18 miles), the seaside resort of Bude (10.5 miles) and the wild and rugged Bodmin Moor (11 miles).
