Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Falmouth (3.5mls W), Cornwall

Burrowed deep in the glorious Cornish countryside, this one-storey cottage couldn't be a more ideal location for a holiday. Beautifully decorated, with a bright contemporary feel, the vaulted ceilings of this converted workshop give it an air of space and light. Wake up to beautiful far-reaching views towards the Argal reservoir and the sea beyond and listen to the shallow stream trickling by as you sit out in the garden.

Whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast in the open-plan living area or putting your feet up on the terrace while your other half sizzles up a treat on the BBQ, you'll be treated to uninterrupted views of both the pretty garden and countryside beyond. The interior complements the colour palette outside; warm greys, greens, yellows and blues run throughout the cottage giving a chirpy holiday feel. Underfloor heating makes this a cosy retreat on cooler days.

Special touches such as the glamorous bedroom chandelier and satin cushions offer a hint of luxury and romance. Drive 4 miles south to the popular town of Falmouth for a day at one of its superb beaches. Visit one of Henry VIII's most magnificent coastal fortresses, Pendennis Castle, or try a spot of sailing.

Join the South West Coast Path here and discover the Lizard Heritage Coast, or drive 20 miles out to the famous Lizard Point. Closer to home, there are some lovely walks from the cottage and the Argal Reservoir is only a mile away, offering fishing and picnics by the water.
