Chy Lowenna, Liskeard

Chy Lowenna is a single-storey holiday home on a quiet park a couple of miles north of Liskeard, and what dog owners keep returning to is the setting. Woodland walks start just up the lane, the park is calm rather than lively, and enough other guests arrive with dogs that nobody is surprised to see one. Guests who had been let down over a dog elsewhere say the dog-friendly billing here held up.

The pet terms are set out plainly: one well-behaved dog, and a fee of £25 per pet per week. The owner meets guests on arrival and runs through the property, and reviews describe that first contact as friendly and unhurried. Inside, the bungalow is spacious for a family, with a modern bathroom, a powerful shower, a well-equipped kitchen and enough living space that a group of adults is not sitting on top of each other.

The location is the other draw. Liskeard is a couple of miles down the road, Golitha Falls and the southern edge of Bodmin Moor are close by, and the Cornish coast is an easy drive in either direction, so a week here covers a lot of the county without long journeys.

Two things are worth knowing first. There is no enclosed garden, so the back door cannot be left open for air with a dog inside and there is nowhere on the plot to let one off the lead - the woods up the lane do that job instead. And there is no wifi, with patchy mobile signal on top; guests report that the information folder in the property describes a connection that applies to other units on the park rather than this one. It earns 4.6 out of 5, and it suits people who will be out on the moor and the coast all day with a dog that is happy on a lead around the property.
