Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 8 - Newquay (3mls SW), Cornwall

Set your sights on the rugged coastline of North Cornwall for an unforgettable stay, taking advantage of the glittering golden sands and sublime surf the area is famous for. Less than 5 miles from the sea, this gorgeous accommodation encompasses everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage and is perfect for big family holidays. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, it is a welcoming retreat after a day of catching the waves.

Return sandy and exhilarated for an evening of al fresco dining and a dip in your very own hot tub, or curl up by the flickering flames of the wood burner on chilly winter nights. Laid out in a reverse-level style, the property oozes sophistication from the elegant downstairs bedrooms to the bright open-plan living space on the first floor. Charmingly accessorised with warm decor and an underlying seaside theme, you'll feel as though you have wandered in straight from the gently lapping shoreline.

Wake to the cry of gulls and sunlight streaming in through the windows, throwing open the doors of the two double bedrooms to greet the morning after a refreshing shower in your own private en-suite. The two quirky twin bedrooms are also a treat, both sharing the same cheerful colour palette and a delightful family bathroom. Lured by the scent of bacon sizzling on the range-style cooker, you'll soon find yourself tucking into a delicious breakfast with a view in the spacious kitchen/diner upstairs.

Evenings are made for quality time with the ones you love, enjoying some relaxing TV viewing in the lounge area or perched outside on the balcony with a glass of something fizzy in hand. Back downstairs, the beautiful outside space boasts a hot tub, a BBQ, and ample parking.
