Samuels Cottage

Samuels Cottage is a Grade II listed stone property in Lanreath village sleeping eight across four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Up to four dogs are welcome - a generous allowance that suits multi-dog households or groups combining trips. The open fire, BBQ, and pool table give the house a sociable feel. Wi-Fi, parking (three cars), dishwasher, and washing machine are all included.

Lanreath is a quiet inland village between Looe and Fowey, with a pub on the green and a farm attraction nearby. Lansallos Beach - a narrow AONB cove reached by a 20-minute walk from a National Trust car park - is 5.9km. Talland Bay, with its cafe and boat trips, is 6.8km. Looe town and its harbour are roughly 8km, offering fish and chip shops, a blue flag beach, and the Looe Valley railway.

This cottage is right for large groups and multi-family holidays where dogs are part of the party. The inland setting keeps prices down relative to coastal equivalents of similar size. 64 Sykes reviews make it one of the better-documented properties in this area. Not great for those who need a beach within walking distance - the nearest cove requires a car. No garden, which limits outdoor space despite the dog-friendly policy. Saturday changeover.
