Polzeath, Cornwall - Dog friendly cottage, sleeps 6

Kirra is a spacious and inviting holiday home, tucked away along a quiet road at Highcliff and is just a short walk downhill to the sandy beach and vibrant village shops of Polzeath. With a sunny terrace and lawned garden, along with private use of the tennis court on request, Kirra can accommodate up to six guests, offering a lovely retreat for families and their pets. Take a seat with a refreshing drink on the sheltered terrace, a hotspot on a sunny day, whilst the open-plan sitting room/kitchen is a light, sociable space to enjoy; sink into the deep sofas, and on cool Autumnal nights, light the woodburning stove, making Kirra a suitable base for all seasons.

Neat and well-equipped, you won't mind rustling up a quick holiday supper, or a round of scones for a cream tea, in the immaculate kitchen. The bedrooms offer a range of sleeping accommodation with a king-size bed and two twin rooms on offer. The epitome of the Cornish seaside resort, Polzeath is located on the North Cornwall coast and has a fun, buzzy atmosphere with varied beach shops, art galleries and great places to eat.

Set up camp in one of the sheltered coves on the edge of the beach or at low tide, head to Pentireglaze (Baby Bay to locals) for a quieter family picnic. Follow the coast path along the cliff to Pentire Point and The Rumps for awe-inspiring and dramatic scenes of the ocean and the mouth of the estuary with the lifeboat station in the distance at Trevose Head. Families with youngsters can happily relax at Daymer Bay with a picnic and buckets and spades, knowing that beach games, paddling and rock pools will keep little darlings amused for the whole day.

Book your next break with a stay at Kirra.
