Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Padstow (4ml SW), Cornwall

Enjoy the tranquil beauty of rural northern Cornwall when you stay at this immaculate cottage at Little Petherick, 4 miles from Padstow. Sleeping four guests, and welcoming one of their canine companions, the two-bedroom holiday home is perfect for anyone eager to follow a section of the 18-mile-long Camel Trail, by bike or on foot, along the Camel Estuary to Bodmin. Beaches are also accessible, with Rock 11.5 miles away and Polzeath 12.5 miles from the cottage.

Stroll inside this charming, two-storey cottage via an impressive porch and then a hall taking you through to the lounge. Settle on the sofas in here to watch your favourite programmes on the Smart TV or to chat together over a cup of tea after a long walk. Find everything you need in the stylish kitchen to help you prepare holiday meals with the fresh ingredients you have bought on your excursions then lay the table in the dining room.

A utility room and a shower room are also at ground-floor level. Make your way up to the first floor to find a bright king-size room with TV, a twin, and the family bathroom. Take your morning coffee out into the courtyard garden on summer mornings.

Parking is on the road subject to availability. Enjoy spending time in the attractive port of Padstow, where you can potter in the shops, dine out or head off to the beach at St George's Cove, Tregirls Beach and Hawker's Cove. Take a boat trip from here to spot seals, dolphins and even basking sharks.

Catch the ferry over to Rock, which is known as a celebrity destination, as well as for its cafes, restaurants and beach. Drive almost 9 miles to Pencarrow House and Gardens, where you can explore the grounds and see an Iron Age fort.
