Cornish Cottage from ‘Beyond Paradise’ Now Dog-Friendly for Fans
Step Inside ‘Beyond Paradise’ at Quay Cottage
Fans of the popular BBC series “Beyond Paradise” now have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the show’s idyllic Cornish setting by staying in the very cottage featured on screen. Quay Cottage, located within the stunning Pentillie Castle Estate, serves as the charming residence of DI Humphrey Goodman and Martha, becoming a recognizable backdrop throughout every series. While the fictional Shipton Abbott is portrayed as being in South Devon, the reality is that much of the picturesque filming, including scenes at this distinctive quayside property, takes place right here in Cornwall. This revelation offers a fantastic spotlight on our region, drawing attention to the tranquil character and pristine countryside that viewers admire from their homes. For those who’ve dreamed of stepping into the world of “Beyond Paradise,” Quay Cottage is now available for booking through holidaycottages.co.uk. Property owner Sammie Coryton shared insights into the filming process, noting the presence of the show’s boat, ‘Lily Bond,’ at the quay, and praised the cast and crew for their professionalism. This direct access to a beloved set not only thrills fans but also significantly boosts local interest and tourism for our beautiful county.
Dog-Friendly Stays and Scenic Surroundings
What makes Quay Cottage even more appealing for many visitors is its proudly “dog friendly accommodation” policy, welcoming up to two canine companions alongside its human guests. This is a significant draw, allowing entire families to enjoy a comfortable getaway amidst Cornwall’s stunning landscapes. The recently renovated cottage boasts a modern yet cozy interior, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area with expansive bay windows, and a warming wood burner for cooler evenings. The inviting lounge provides river vistas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Upstairs, two double bedrooms, one super-king-size and one king-size, offer river outlooks, ensuring a restful stay for up to four guests. Situated within the Tamar Valley National Landscape, the property’s surroundings are equally impressive, with 55 acres of Repton-designed woodland gardens perfect for leisurely strolls. This focus on welcoming pets extends to the broader region, where many local businesses and natural spots cater to visitors hoping to enjoy a day out with their furry friends, often discovering beautiful areas where “dog on beaches” are permitted during certain times of the year.
Cornwall in the Spotlight: Beyond the Cottage
Beyond the charm of Quay Cottage itself, the “Beyond Paradise” series has cast a wide net, highlighting various other Cornish locales that contribute to its distinctive atmosphere. The show’s stunning seafront and beach sequences, for instance, are captured in the delightful coastal town of Looe, renowned for its quaint harbour and golden shoreline. Meanwhile, the bustling high street of fictional Shipton Abbott comes to life in Launceston, a historic market town that perfectly embodies the series’ charming village feel. This extensive filming across south-east Cornwall provides invaluable exposure, showcasing the region’s diverse beauty and encouraging viewers to explore beyond just one location. The positive ripple effect on local tourism is evident, with visitors keen to experience the real-life backdrops of their favourite show. For those inspired to delve deeper into Cornwall’s offerings, after soaking in the serenity of the Tamar Valley, many might be tempted to go to Newquay and discover its vibrant surf culture and iconic Fistral Beach. This media spotlight not only generates bookings for specific properties but also boosts the economy across a wider array of local businesses, solidifying Cornwall’s reputation as a top-tier destination.
