1 / 14Carnsew - St Erth
St Erth, Cornwall
A single level barn conversion for two on a working arable farm at St Erth, with oak floors, a private enclosed lawn, a shared communal garden and one dog welcome.
Carnsew is a beautiful stone barn conversion, contemporary and open plan, in a complex of four on a family run working arable farm. Glorious open countryside surrounds it, Hayle lies 1 mile away, and its private enclosed lawn is, in the listing's own words, ideal for dogs. Two guests and one dog make up the party at this dog friendly hideaway.
Everything is arranged on one level, bright and open, with oak flooring throughout. The modern kitchen has a table and chairs for romantic meals for two, and the lounge has comfortable seating, a cosy rug, a Smart TV with DVD and French windows opening onto a patio. Those French windows lead out for a drink at dusk, the dog trotting along behind.
The luxurious king size bedroom has a TV and DVD of its own for lazy mornings, and an en suite shower room with a walk in shower and underfloor heating. Outside, a pretty patio with seating gives way to the enclosed lawn, which belongs to the cottage and suits a dog and an outdoor supper equally well. There is also shared access to a large communal lawn, a lovely spot for al fresco drinks.
From Hayle, three miles of golden sand are within walking distance, good for surfing, bathing and walking, and the dog will want every step. The South West Coast Path can be joined from there too. Across the bay, St Ives has its galleries, independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and the National Seal Sanctuary is within easy reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Carnsew - St Erth dog friendly?
Yes, Carnsew welcomes one dog. The cottage has a small private enclosed garden, so your dog has a safe outdoor space, and there's access to a communal garden alongside it.
Are dogs allowed at Carnsew - St Erth year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the host before booking, particularly if you're planning a visit during busy periods.
What should I know before visiting Carnsew - St Erth with my dog?
The cottage takes one dog, so it's best suited to single-dog households. The real draw for dog owners is the location: Porthkidney Beach is just over two miles away and is described as a flat expanse of sand where a dog can really stretch its legs, and the St Erth railway station means you can hop on a five-minute train to St Ives with your dog on a lead rather than battling traffic and car parks.
