Dog Friendly Holidays!

As we move deeper in to Autumn the UK holiday market witnesses a peak of traffic, as holidaymakers steal that last break away before the festive countdown begins. From our years of experience within the UK tourism industry we find that a lot of families and couples would love an Autumn UK holiday that is also suitable for Fido the family dog. To help Britain's dog lovers we have included some examples below of holiday cottages in Cornwall where your dog will be more than welcome. Why Cornwall you say? Not only is it an area of the UK that is rather mild in Autumn, but it also an area of the country that has stretches of picturesque beaches which welcome dogs in off peak seasons! 

Rudh N Dunain:

This character cottage once belonged to the National Trust on the Lanhydrock Estate. Its nestles on the edge of the Redmoor Nature Reserve at the foot of Helman Tor.

It is in fine walking and cycle country including The Saints Way and The Cornish Way cycle routes, along with the Camel Trail which is just 4 miles away. Within easy reach of north and south coasts with popular tourist attractions just a short drive away. Visit one of the many pretty fishing villages and hidden coves in the south, such as 
Polperro, Looe or Mevagissey.


Wheal Call:

Occupying one of the outstanding views in the British Isles would not be an exaggeration. A former granite count house over one hundred and fifty years old, Wheal Call stands alone above Porthledden Bay. It has spectacular and unrestricted views of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cornwall and the surrounding cliffs.

A haven for anyone seeking peace and tranquility combined with the opportunity to enjoy an ever changing canvas of breathtaking sunsets. Abounding with marine life including seals, porpoises and basking sharks and a wide range of flora and fauna.

To the North of the property, the coastal path leads down past old mine workings to the Kenidjack Valley and Porthledden Bay where a crystal clear rock pool appears at low tide. To the South lies Cape Cornwall only one of two capes in the UK - and Priest's Cove which is still used by local fisherman. The cottage is approached via an unmade track of approx 350 yards which is not suitable for vehicles with low suspension and rather uneven steep steps leading down to the property.

Island House:

The stunning location of this lovely house is hard to beat, it is surrounded by the River Fowey on three sides. Built out from the waterfront into the inner harbour at Golant, the aptly-named Island House has water views from every window. From the first floor the river’s tidal moorings can be seen to the small Victorian railway embankment which occasionally transports china clay to Fowey.

The enclosed courtyard leads into the oak furnished kitchen/dining-room. A staircase leads to the master en suite bedroom, with river views from the balcony. The sitting-room has limestone flags with under-floor heating, complemented by cosy rugs, comfortable sofas, and a wood-burner. A second staircase leads to the twin and double bedrooms which share the family bathroom.

The busy sailing town of Fowey and several sandy beaches are nearby, the Eden Project and Heligan are easily reached, and the Bodinnick ferry gives access along the coast to Polperro and Looe.
