What's available for dog owners around Falmouth

There are 36 dog-friendly stays published on BritStays in the Falmouth region, and every one of them lists Pet Friendly as a facility. You get a genuine choice of style: 13 hotels, 10 caravanning sites, 9 campsites and 4 cottages. Falmouth itself accounts for 19 of them, with another one listed as Falmouth, South West England. The rest are spread across Helston (4), Truro (3), Camborne (2), St Mawes, South West England (2), Coverack (1) and Veryan (1). If you want the widest range to compare, start your search with Falmouth. If you'd like something smaller or more specific, the other towns are worth a look.

Sea views or somewhere quieter?

Just under half of these stays (17 of the 36) list sea views. If waking up to the water matters to you, filter for that early, because it rules out more than half the options straight away. The remaining stays include campsites, holiday parks and hotels that are better suited to a practical base than a room with a view.

A few facilities are worth checking for dog owners in particular:

  • Parking: only 20 of the 36 list it. If you're driving down with a dog and all its kit, confirm parking before you book.
  • Laundrette: 14 stays have one, which is handy for sandy or muddy towels and bedding.
  • WiFi: 24 list it, so don't assume it if you need to work or stream.
  • Toilets: 15 list them, which mostly matters on campsites.

Matching the stay to your trip

Couples after a treat have several spa hotels to choose from. Polurrian Hotel and Mullion Cove Hotel, both in Helston, list spa facilities, and Polurrian adds a swimming pool and hot tub. Idle Rocks, listed under Truro, offers a spa, bar and restaurant. Royal Duchy Hotel in Falmouth has a pool, gym and spa. If you're travelling by rail, Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth is listed as near a train station and has a bar.

Families will probably get more from the holiday parks and campsites. Penwarne Farm Campsite and Trevarth Holiday Park, both in Falmouth, list a playground. Sea Acres Holiday Park offers evening entertainment, a bar and a restaurant, so you won't need to go out every night. Kynance Camping lists guided tours, while Treloan Coastal Holidays and Bochym Pasture both have a cafe on site.

Groups should look at Seabreeze in St Mawes, South West England. It sleeps 10 and has a hot tub and sea views. For a smaller party, Daisy Cottage sleeps 4 and comes with access to a gym, clubhouse and bar.

If you just need a straightforward overnight stop, Travelodge in Camborne lists a restaurant, takeaway food and disabled access.

Things to do once you're there

Heritage sites make good half-day trips. Pendennis Castle and St Mawes Castle are both on the list, along with Carn Brea Castle and the National Trust's East Pool Mine. Garden lovers can choose between Trelissick Garden and Glendurgan Garden. Families might prefer Flambards theme park or Kernow Adventure Park, a water park in Falmouth. The Screech Owl Sanctuary and Predannick Anti-Aircraft Battery add some variety. Further afield, the Penzance area has Levant Mine and Beam Engine, Tate St Ives and Coast The Exhibition.

Dog policies differ from one attraction to the next, and they can change with the season or apply only to certain areas. Check each venue's own rules before you set off. You'll avoid a wasted journey or leaving your dog in the car.

When and how to book

With 36 stays in total, and only 4 of them cottages, the choice is narrower than it first appears. That's especially true if you need several things at once, like sea views, parking and room for a group. Seabreeze is the only example stay here that sleeps more than 4. If your dates are fixed, particularly in school holidays, book as early as you can.

Before you pay, ask each stay directly:

  • How many dogs are allowed, and is there a size limit?
  • Is there an extra charge per dog?
  • Are dogs allowed in every room or area, including the bar, restaurant or cafe?
  • Can dogs be left alone in the room, caravan or cottage?
  • Is parking included, and where is it?

Get the answers in writing if you can, and pack your dog's own bed and towels so it settles in quickly.
