Dog-Friendly Holidays

Each of our Five Star cottages has its own enclosed private garden that is secure for dogs unless you have a good jumper! Several cottages have a gate leading directly into a meadow or onto one of our farm walks. 

There are wonderful walks from your garden gate along our flower-filled lanes and across Treworgey's beautiful 150 acres, with fabulous views to the sea and the Looe River.  We have produced a fold-out pocket map to guide you. 

Nearby are the magnificent South West Coast Path as well as sheltered woodland walks. We have outside taps available which come in handy for those who like to walk for miles, whatever the weather.

We have created a dedicated dog paddock, fully secured with high, small-mesh fencing.  There's a convenient bin for dog waste by the gate and we mow a meandering path with benches around the field in the summer.  The dog paddock can be found just below the riding school and can be accessed from either end. 

Every dog is welcomed by treats, bowls a towel, a couple of poo bags (for the first evening, in case you've forgotten yours) and a collar tag with our number and postcode to give you a bit of peace of mind.

There are very few places that dogs are not allowed around Treworgey, but we do ask that they are not taken into the pool area or playground.  To make this easier for our guests, we have created an enclosed area with shade, fresh water, dog beds and tie up rings right near the pool and playground. 

In the tie-up area, we now have a purpose-built dog-shower!  This is a raised shower tray with ramp and trigger-activated shower hose with full temperature control.  Much nicer than a cold hose bath!

• Mount Edgcumbe Gardens. Well behaved dogs are welcome all year round. and with gardens and its very own beach your dog will be in its element. There is a café on site but we recommend you take a picnic as we often do.

• Cardinham Woods. We have mentioned the café here above and the woods are excellent for dog walks too. There are also pushchair friendly trails too so all the family can have a great day out.

• Camel Trail. Whether you bring bikes, hire them or just walk the camel trail, we suggest you do it. From Bodmin to Wadebridge, Wadebridge to Padstow or the whole trip you wont be disappointed, with pubs and cafes in Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow mostly being dog friendly you will have a great day out.  If you do Bodmin to Waidbridge or Waidebridge to Bodmin, a small amount of the trail is through the town with traffic. If you start at Wadebridge and go to Padstow you enter at the edge of town and don’t need to worry about traffic until you arrive at padstow.

Beaches

These are dog friendly year-round!

• Hannafore, Looe. Just a stone's throw from us a great beach for dogs with rock pools a plenty. Toilets are close by too and there are some great places to eat with the dog.

• Seaton, Downderry. A fantastic beach for dogs to run and make new doggy friends.

• Lantic Bay, along the coast path from Polperro. You will have seen this beach in the photo of Meg on the bench with Lantic bay behind her. Not only is this a very popular photo, but a very popular beach. Often not busy either. You will need to walk to this bay via the coast path and you will need to take food and water with you. There are no toilets here and we recommend you take something to shade your pooch as it can get very hot.

• Whitsand Bay, Torpoint. This beach is perfect for dogs. With a climb down its not idea for people unsteady on their feet. There are lifeguards on duty every day during the summer and it's perfect for swim. This is a long beach and when the tide's out your dog will have no problem in tiring themselves out.

On request we can arrange for a trusted dog-sitter to look after your pets in your cottage while you go out.  We also have dog leads and bowls in case you've forgotten anything and there will always be a few dog poo bags in your cottage.

We make a charge of £23 per dog per week or part week. This is because we put laundered throws on all the sofas and arm chairs and allow time for an extra clean to make sure the next guest won't come across a stray dog hair! 

We are on all sorts of dog friendly sites such as http://www.ukdogfriendlycottages.co.uk/  http://www.dogfriendlybritain.co.uk/ etc.  If you know of some great dog friendly websites where we could advertise, please let us know!  Thank you.
