Dog friendly Lanvean Farmhouse, St Mawgan, Cornwall - Sleeps 6

Nestled on the peaceful outskirts of Lanvean near the charming village of St Mawgan, Lanvean Farmhouse is a bright and welcoming three-storey haven, perfect for families seeking a beach-filled Cornish escape. With some of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches just a short drive away, this cheerful cottage offers the ideal base for sun-soaked adventures, seaside picnics, and unforgettable family memories.

Step inside and enjoy the warmth of a fully-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals together before gathering around the dining table to share stories from the day. As evening falls, settle in for a cosy movie night in the comfortable lounge, or unwind in the snug with a good book and a cup of tea.

Spread across three floors, the farmhouse features three inviting bedrooms designed for restful nights after days spent exploring the coast. A stylish bathroom and a separate snug provide space for both relaxation and getting ready for the day ahead. Just a short stroll away, the village of St Mawgan offers essentials and local charm, with The Falcon Inn, The Smugglers Inn, and St Mawgan Stores all within easy reach.

But the real magic lies in the nearby beaches—Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay—both family-friendly, dog-friendly, and perfect for sandcastle building, paddling, and surfing. Surf schools and equipment hire are available, making it easy for beginners and seasoned surfers alike to catch a wave. And when hunger strikes, enjoy fresh seafood and laid-back dining at Catch Seafood Bar & Grill or Beach Box Mawgan Porth.

For a scenic walk, follow the footpath from the farmhouse to Mawgan Porth beach (around 2 miles), winding through picturesque countryside before arriving at the golden sands. If the surf’s not ideal at Watergate Bay, head to Harlyn Bay, often better in westerly winds and equally beautiful. A short drive brings you to Newquay, a vibrant coastal town with family attractions like Blue Reef Aquarium, Pirate’s Quest Adventure Golf, and of course, more golden beaches to explore.

Whether you're building sandcastles, learning to surf, or simply soaking up the sea air, Lanvean Farmhouse is the perfect place to make magical memories with your loved ones.
