The Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies a short distance to the south with its unspoilt coastal scenery, hidden coves and creeks, with various areas of the coast in the ownership of the National Trust. Nearby Polperro, Polruan, Fowey and Looe are picturesque, each with their own harbours and fishing fleets. The nearest beach is the beautiful Talland Bay or travel a little further and you have all the stunning beaches of south east Cornwall, many of which are dog friendly. Many of Cornwall's attractions are within easy driving distance, including the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and National Trust properties such as Cotehele and Lanhydrock. There are plenty of opportunities to indulge in water based activities with some good diving and snorkelling sites along the coast as well as excellent coves to explore whilst paddle boarding. Although it is steeped in its rural past, the property is also equipped with many modern comforts throughout.
