Extra features
Rural Roaming
There are numerous footpaths through the nearby fields with moors, and coastal paths to explore. The expansive moors are particularly ideal for anxious dogs, offering wide, open spaces that provide a sense of freedom and calm.
Low Fireworks Risk
Set in a peaceful rural farm location, this accommodation is likely to be free from fireworks. While things can change, it should be the perfect spot to bunker down and avoid seasonal noise.
Bookworms will adore this location, as the outdoor garden space doubles as a mini library - a perfect sunny spot for relaxing and unwinding with a good page-turner.
Things to note
The Garden
The garden may not be entirely secure for escape-prone dogs. It is enclosed with a mixture of fence types, including fenced gates and stone walling. The gates have secondary fencing below for smaller dogs, but the host notes that the garden may not be escape-proof for keen jumpers, as the stone wall is around 4 ft tall.

Old Boswednack is an excellent choice for those with anxious dogs seeking a tranquil retreat. Located near Zennor, this beautifully furnished, single-storey barn conversion (a former piggery) provides a tranquil setting where both dogs and their guardians can unwind. The property is free from the usual hustle and bustle you may find in the busier parts of Cornwall.
The enclosed garden provides a quiet space where dogs can explore freely, while the nearby fields provide quiet scenic walks away from crowded areas. The moors and historical sites add to the peaceful ambience and make for excellent walking locations. The host has even written a blog on local walks she takes her anxious dog making it easy to find secluded spots to enjoy together.
The cottage features two well-appointed bedrooms, designed with comfort in mind. The king-size bedroom looks out onto the garden, offering a lovely view to wake up to each morning complete with en-suite shower room. At the opposite end of the house, just off the living area, is a twin room complete with bespoke shelving and an open plan wardrobe.
The cottage also includes a spacious family bathroom, situated between the two bedrooms. Equipped with a bath, shower, and heated towel rail, it’s an inviting space with reclaimed wood accents adding a touch of character. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, complete with a cosy log burner, provides a perfect spot to gather, relax, and enjoy time together after a day exploring the beautiful surroundings.
For those seeking extra peace, the garden summer house offers a serene escape for bookworms. With a small kitchen area and a large selection of books, it's a gorgeous quiet space to relax - perfect for enjoying peaceful moments while your dog snoozes. Old Boswednack’s thoughtful layout, warm interiors, and tranquil location make it an ideal haven for those travelling with anxious pets, offering comfort, privacy, and a stress-free environment for everyone.
