Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 4 - Portreath (1ml), Cornwall

Just 1 mile outside of Portreath, this quaint cottage is a snug base from which to explore the delights of Kernow. Embrace the charm of the simple life on a farm and bask in the natural light that pours into the living areas of this home. Light the BBQ in the garden on a warm evening and you might even catch a colourful Cornish sunset or a clear starry night sky.

Vaulted ceilings and deep window sills remain in this property as a tribute to its former life, but comfortable furniture and modern essentials have brought the property into the 21st century. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and then retreat into the living area to relax, whether you look forward to curling up with a book, long chats together or zoning out in front of the TV, this cosy room is an ideal backdrop. Cornwall has over 300 miles of beautiful coastline and it lies only 2 miles from this property.

Once a busy port which imported coal and exported copper, Portreath is now a tranquil destination that boasts a popular sandy beach with a pretty stream that cuts through the shore and down to the sea. If you're looking for an exhilarating hike route, take on the Godrevy to Hell's Mouth coastal walk where you can spot dolphins, seals and basking sharks in the Cornish waters, and appreciate the wildlife on the vibrant heathland.
