Romantic log-burner Cornish Cottage private garden dogs welcome

The Piggery is a two-bedroom cottage near Chacewater, totally redecorated and refurbished in 2025. Lizzie, a former lawyer turned professional singer, hosts the property, which holds a 9.9 rating from 48 Booking.com reviews, with staff and cleanliness both scoring 10.

A south-facing, fully enclosed garden gives dogs room to run without a route to the road, and outdoor furniture makes it usable for meals. Inside, a wood burner heats the living room, which seats four around a dining table in front of a large-screen television. The kitchen has a full-size dishwasher, though it suits everyday cooking rather than elaborate meals, and free WiFi runs throughout the cottage. The master bedroom has a king bed and the second a standard double, sleeping three people in total.

Trevaunance Cove is 4.8 miles from the cottage and Trevellas Cove a similar distance, both on the north coast near St Agnes. Truro city centre is a short drive away for shops, restaurants and the cathedral, and Perranporth Beach is around 6 miles in the other direction.

Best for a couple or small family wanting a private garden and a wood burner within reach of Truro. Less good for larger groups, since the cottage sleeps a maximum of three.
