1 Miller's Island

Reached by its own private bridge and set beside a peaceful lake, 1 Miller’s Island offers rare privacy within acres of Cornish countryside, yet sits just a short drive from the ever-popular harbours of Looe and Polperro. Surrounded by woodland, wildlife and serene water views, this dog-friendly lodge is ideal for families, couples and friends seeking space, seclusion and a touch of indulgence, complete with a sunken hot tub for evenings under the stars. Inside, the open-plan living space feels bright and refined, with generous glazing and bi-fold doors drawing the outside in. Deep sofas invite you to unwind after coastal adventures, while the well-equipped kitchen sits at the heart of the lodge, keeping conversation flowing as meals are prepared. Whether it’s a quick breakfast before the beach or a relaxed supper with a bottle of wine, everything is designed for easy, sociable stays.

The master bedroom features a king-size bed dressed in hotel-quality linens, with an en-suite walk-in shower and direct access to the deck, perfect for a quiet morning coffee overlooking the lake. A comfortable twin room sits just along the hallway, ideal for children or additional guests, served by a sleek family bathroom with shower over bath. Thoughtful touches such as fluffy towels and quality finishes elevate the experience throughout. Step outside and the setting truly shines. Dine alfresco beside the water, sink into the bubbling hot tub as dusk settles, or simply watch nature unfold, ducks drifting across the lake and birdsong echoing through the trees. The spacious deck offers reassurance for dog owners, while the wider grounds provide gentle walks from the doorstep. The Old Mill Bar & Restaurant, located onsite, serves wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted cocktails and relaxed family favourites, all just a short stroll away. The friendly onsite team are always on hand, adding to the welcoming atmosphere guests consistently praise. Beyond the park, explore the narrow streets and harbourfront of Looe, the timeless charm of Polperro, or the independent shops and eateries of Fowey. Beach lovers can choose from East Looe Beach, Talland Bay and Lantic Bay, while family days out await at the Eden Project, Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary and Adrenalin Quarry. Blending lakeside tranquillity, generous living space and an outstanding South Cornwall location, 1 Miller’s Island is a superb base for scenic dog-friendly breaks and memorable coastal escapes in every season.
