Dog Friendly Cornwall
“If I can’t bring my dog, I’m not going.”
Miles of coastline
Cornwall is a pooch’s paradise. If your four-legged friend doesn’t love digging on the beach (and there’s plenty to choose from), then there’s miles of coastal pathways and off-road inland walks to discover.
We have a good range of dog-friendly accommodation on both Cornwall’s north and south coast. With the majority of our dog-friendly properties, up to two well-behaved dogs can stay.
