Cornwall, a doggy heaven

Joanne Parsons on 13 March 2018
We decided to take a holiday in the UK for our last trip as we are saving up for a big one next year. We have been to Cornwall a few times and love the North Coast and particularly Perranporth and Padstow.

We booked a Hoseasons Holiday at Leycroft Valley in Perranporth - we had a studio cabin which came with a hot tub on the patio. It was very compact, but clean and had all the facilities we needed. Leycroft Valley is, as the name suggests, in a valley to the rear of Perranporth and can be found by taking a long and winding lane. Some people seem to complain about getting there but it was quite straightforward in my opinion.

A short car ride or 30-minute walk would take you to the town and spectacular beach where the dogs could run and play to their hearts content.

Perranporth is very popular and while we went in September it was still extremely busy. The sea can be very rough but is manned by lifeguards in the summer months and is great for those wanting to learn to surf, paddleboard or kitesurf.

There are lots of places to visit in the vicinity - Newquay is just down the road and Padstow is also a short drive away. There are lots of dog friendly beaches here and we visited a different one every day - we particularly liked Watergate Bay, Morgan Porth and Holywell Bay. While we were in Holywell Bay they were filming Poldark which was fun to watch. We also got to see some seals whilst on one of our walks here which was lovely as we are big animal lovers.

We did not have the best of weather on our trip but have to say it did not stop us having a great time and we will definitely be back.
