1 / 24Little Merrose
Portreath, Cornwall
A barn conversion for two near Portreath with an enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, and Tehidy Woods six tenths of a mile from the door.
Tehidy Woods is the largest area of woodland in west Cornwall and it begins six tenths of a mile from this door. Little Merrose is a one bedroom barn conversion on a working farm nearby, sleeping two with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs, and it takes two dogs.
Woodland is a different currency from coast and it is badly undervalued by people booking Cornwall. Nine miles of paths through beech and oak, shade in August, shelter in February, and a surface that stays walkable for a dog when the cliff paths are running with water. Godrevy and Gwithian Towans are four and a half miles off for when you want sand, both scoring an eight on our map, and Porthtowan is three and seven tenths.
Thirty five guest ratings on a barn sleeping two is a strong record for somewhere this small. It is one of a pair of conversions on the farm so there may well be neighbours, and it is laid out with accessibility in mind, which travels well with a dog that has slowed down. An enclosed garden with a BBQ, two dogs, four hundred and eighteen pounds for the week.

Is Little Merrose dog friendly?
Yes, Little Merrose welcomes up to two dogs. The barn has an enclosed garden with a BBQ, and Tehidy Woods — nine miles of paths through beech and oak — starts just six tenths of a mile from the door.
Are dogs allowed at Little Merrose year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the location suits year-round visits well. Tehidy Woods is noted for staying walkable even in wet conditions when cliff paths are running with water, which makes it particularly practical in the winter months.
What should I know before visiting Little Merrose with my dog?

It's laid out with accessibility in mind, which works well for older or less mobile dogs, and the enclosed garden gives them a safe outdoor space.
