Pyworthy Cottage

Pyworthy Cottage is a single-storey, 2-bedroom cottage in the grounds of North Tamerton's old rectory, in north-east Cornwall near the Devon border. It sleeps 4, with an open-plan layout and a super-king-size main bedroom. The property is rated 4.8 from 4 reviews, with guests scoring both cleanliness and location at 5.

The wood burner is the centrepiece for off-season stays. A garden with outdoor seating and a BBQ extends the living space in warmer months. Up to 3 dogs are welcome - a practical point for households with multiple dogs, which is less common in the local rental market. Parking, wifi, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included.

Widemouth Bay is 12.4km - a wide sandy beach popular with surfers on the Atlantic coast near Bude. Millook Beach is 13.2km, and Summerleaze Beach in Bude 14.6km. The surrounding north Cornwall and north Devon borderland offers walking country away from the main tourist routes.

Right for groups wanting a rural base with proper dog facilities and year-round comfort. Less suited to those wanting easy, walkable beach access - this is a driving destination.

The single-storey layout makes movement between rooms straightforward and the open-plan arrangement suits couples or small families. The super-king main bedroom is the only documented bedroom despite the 2-bedroom listing in the schema. Up to 3 dogs are welcome - an unusually high limit. Parking, wi-fi, dishwasher, washing machine, wood burner, BBQ, and garden are all included. North Tamerton sits in the upper Tamar valley, just inside the Cornish border; the Devon market town of Holsworthy is 5 miles for provisions. Bude, 14km north-west, is the nearest coastal town with a full range of cafes, surf shops, and beach facilities.
