Retreat to this rural bolthole for two on a wonderful Cornish complex amid idyllic rolling countryside. Near the Polperro Heritage Coast with its history of smuggling, Polruan and Polperro are both within 4 miles in different directions, with dog-friendly Lansallos Beach in the middle (2.5 miles). This one-bed property is ideal for a couple, but there’s also room for a cot – not forgetting up to two canine chums. It has direct access to the shared garden and grounds, as well as the other goodies like the games room and play park.

Up a big step, this single-storey cottage’s dedicated entrance leads you into an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The fully equipped kitchen is in one corner of the room, while your table for two awaits for more formal indoor dining. The cosy lounge area has sofa seating in front of an open fire, which adds to the traditional feel alongside the exposed stonework and blackened timbers. The cosy king-size bedroom is off the lounge with its spacious en-suite bathroom. There’s an allocated area outside with a BBQ, table and chairs but the complex is set in 7 acres of scenic grounds that you can explore, with a dog exercise field and warm shower for delicate hounds.

Take advantage of the seasonal pool, hot tub and sauna on the complex or walk in the woodlands or wildflower meadows. Join the South West Coast Path to head along the coast in either direction. From Polruan, hop aboard the passenger ferry for a scenic and stress-free way to visit perennial favourite Fowey, a quintessential Cornish fishing town. Daphne du Maurier fans should check out its links with this celebrated author. Gardening fans might also like to venture further afield to the Eden Project (13 miles). Woofers on leads are welcome, except in the biomes.
