Trelydarth

Trelydarth is a detached 6-bedroom house at Penhallow in mid-Cornwall, sleeping 12 across 2 bathrooms. The property sits roughly midway between St Agnes and Perranporth, making it one of the larger self-catering options in this stretch of the north coast. Dogs are welcome and 37 guests have reviewed it on Sykes.

The house has an accessible ground floor and an enclosed garden with a BBQ - useful for a large group in warmer months. Inside there is parking for multiple cars, wifi, dishwasher, and washing machine. Two bathrooms for 12 guests means some queuing at busy times, and there is no hot tub or open fire. Changeover is Friday.

Three beaches sit within 3.5 miles: Trevellas Cove is 2.7 miles away, Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes is 2.7 miles, and Perranporth Beach - 3 miles of surf sand - is 3.5 miles. St Agnes itself has independent cafes and the Blue Hills Tin Streams heritage attraction just outside the village. Visit the St Agnes area for the full picture on beaches and things to do nearby.

Best for: large family groups or gatherings of friends who want a dog-friendly base within easy reach of several north coast surf beaches. Less suited to anyone expecting more than 2 bathrooms for 12 people or wanting luxury finishes at this price point.
