Set in the countryside near Penmayne, this single-storey retreat is a comfortable choice for families travelling with pets, with the coast and North Cornwall’s beaches within easy reach. With a wood burner and private garden, everything is in place for a memorable West Country escape.

Inside, the house has been designed around easy family living, with high ceilings adding to the airy feel of the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped, while French doors beside the dining table lead into the garden. In the lounge, a Scandinavian-style wood burner creates a warm focal point alongside a Smart TV. Three bedrooms include a king-size master with an en-suite shower room, TV, and patio doors; a bunk room with its own TV, Xbox, and bean bags; and a double overlooking the garden. A family bathroom has both a large shower and a separate bath. The enclosed garden has a lawn, raised decking, outdoor seating and charcoal BBQ, giving everyone somewhere to gather after a day beside the sea. Private parking for two cars is available, along with an outdoor tap for rinsing off sandy feet, muddy boots and paws.

Rock Road is a few metres away, and the sea is around a mile from the property. Penmayne itself has a small selection of independent businesses, including a deli and family-run bakery, handy for stocking up on local produce before heading out for the day. Porthilly Cove is a mile away via a country lane and fields, while Rock Beach is 1.5 miles away. Rock is also a hub for sailing, water skiing and paddleboarding, while nearby Polzeath is home to surf schools. Follow the South West Coast Path towards Pentire Point, 4 miles away, for sweeping views across Gulland Rock and the Trevose Headland.

Loved the location and the look/layout of the property - purpose built and away from the madding crowds. Modern too, and luxuriously appointed. We loved our stay there - home from home.

The property was modern, well equipped and very clean with nice dcor. The area was fantastic, private and closed off which allowed the dog to have free run around the garden.

We like the area and the property suited our family including the dogs. We especially liked the Big Green Egg BBQ.
