Carpenters Cabin

Carpenters Cabin is a one-bedroom self-catering cabin for two at Penpol near Lostwithiel, in the wooded Fowey Valley in central Cornwall. It welcomes dogs and scores 9.8 from 16 reviews - one of the better-rated small properties in the Cornish Traditional collection. Prices are fixed at 667 GBP per week with a Friday changeover.

Inside, the cabin runs to a single bedroom, a bathroom, and an open living and kitchen area. There is WiFi throughout and the layout is ground-floor accessible. The size suits a couple or a solo traveller with a dog looking for a rural base rather than a larger cottage.

Outside, there is a garden and private parking. The setting in the Fowey Valley is quiet, with footpaths along the river and through the surrounding woodland. Dogs are welcome, and the cabin's position means walking direct from the door is practical rather than requiring a drive.

Lostwithiel, about a mile or two away, is the former medieval capital of Cornwall. It has antique shops along Fore Street, a regular farmers' market, and Restormel Castle sitting on a hilltop nearby. Fowey, the Eden Project, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are all within easy reach by car.
