1 / 24Higher Merrose
Portreath, Cornwall
The larger of two barn conversions at Tehidy, sleeping four with two bathrooms, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome beside the woods.
Higher Merrose is the bigger of the two barn conversions on this farm at Tehidy: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, four people and two dogs. Its neighbour sleeps two, so if you are travelling as a pair of couples with a dog each, taking both is worth an enquiry.
Six tenths of a mile away lies Tehidy Woods, the largest woodland in west Cornwall, nine miles of surfaced path under beech and oak. For a dog it is the dependable walk: shaded in summer, sheltered in winter, firm underfoot when the coast is unwalkable. Godrevy and Gwithian Towans at four and a half miles both take an eight from us, and Porthtowan is three and seven tenths.
Two bathrooms between four people is unusual at four hundred and forty nine pounds, and the enclosed garden with seating and a BBQ is the other half of the value. Thirty guest ratings behind it. This is a working farm on the north coast between Portreath and Hayle, far enough inland to be quiet and near enough that sand is ten minutes away when the dogs want it.

Is Higher Merrose dog friendly?
Yes, Higher Merrose welcomes up to two dogs. It's a barn conversion on a working farm in Cornwall, with an enclosed garden that makes it a practical and relaxed base for dog owners.
Are dogs allowed at Higher Merrose year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the property's appeal is clearly year-round — Tehidy Woods, just six tenths of a mile away, is noted as a sheltered winter walk as well as a shaded summer one. It's worth confirming directly with the owner if you're booking at a specific time of year.
What should I know before visiting Higher Merrose with my dog?
The enclosed garden with seating and a BBQ gives dogs (and their owners) a safe outdoor space without needing to head out for every bit of fresh air. Tehidy Woods — the largest woodland in west Cornwall with nine miles of surfaced paths — is less than a mile from the door, and dog-friendly beaches at Godrevy, Gwithian Towans and Porthtowan are all within five miles. It's also worth knowing that the neighbouring barn sleeps two, so if you're travelling as two couples each with a dog, taking both properties together could be an option.
