Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 2 - Perranporth (1ml S), Cornwall

Once used as a grain store, this renovated cottage has been left with an unusual and enchanting layout. It's a great place to plan your days and unwind during lazy evenings. Go snorkelling among the shallow waters of Perranporth Beach that's only 2 miles away or sailing up and down the rugged coast.

After a busily investigating the beaches and trekking the cliffs, you can always wander down to the local pub and savour a delicious full roast and cider in the courtyard. The decor is made up of neutral colours and delicate patterns providing a comforting and relaxing atmosphere to the place. Prep lunches and snacks in the contemporary kitchen for your adventures across Cornwall.

Once you return home boil yourself a pot of tea, settle into the cosy sofas and snuggle up with your loved ones. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, roam the coastal path to the fantastical site of Cligga Head (3 miles). St Ives is 24 miles down the coast and a cultural and artistic hub where you can take in vibrant expressionist works and portraits by ancient classicists in the famous Tate Gallery.

Travel 21 miles across to the south coast to roam The Lost Gardens of Heligan or set your sights on a 25-mile trip to the enchanting Eden Project.
