Dog friendly Holiday cottage, Padstow (5mls N) - Sleeps 7 (FCH75734)

Situated in a prime location on the North Cornwall coast, this beautiful barn conversion on a complex of three properties is perfect for a family get-together. With miles of spectacular coastal footpaths to explore, walkers and dogs alike will find hours of entertainment, before returning to the warm welcome of this cosy property, surrounded by home comforts.

Prepare a delicious meal in the kitchen and head outside for a spot of al fresco dining as the children and their four-legged friend play in the garden with the evening sun. Thoughtfully converted to maximise the stunning views, the reverse-level accommodation has been designed with socialising in mind.

The open-plan living space on the first floor is a blended palette of creams with the furnishings adding splashes of colour to the sofas - the perfect place to snuggle up whilst watching your favourite film as the wood burner crackles in the background. On warm evenings, relax with a BBQ and a glass of wine, ready to plan the next day's adventures; with sandy beaches, coastal pathways with breathtaking views, and hidden streets of harbour villages ready to be explored, you'll be spoilt for choice.

For a day at the seaside head to Watergate Bay (6.5 miles) and Daymer Bay (16 miles) where everything from surfing to swimming is catered for. The pleasant town of Wadebridge (9 miles) has fine boutiques and cafes, as do Padstow (5.5 miles) and St Agnes (24 miles). The Camel Trail (10.5 miles) is great for walkers and cyclists.

Further afield is the quirky town of Newquay (9.5 miles) and have fun at Camel Creek Adventure Park (3 miles) or the Eden Project (16 miles).
