What’s guaranteed to wag a tail?


Open spaces, places to run, maybe splash; sticks galore; and lots of people to give you a pat or a treat.


Cornwall has the ingredients to make it a tail-waggingly ideal destination for dog-lovers, and many of its businesses, from hotels to B&Bs, from pubs to cafes, are dog-friendly.


Beyond the beach is the ultimate dog walk: the Cornish sections of the South West Coast Path, taking in the incredible scenery of the county’s cliffs and fishing villages.


It isn’t just the coast that offers locations ideal for dog walking, of course.


Cornwall is blessed with an extensive footpath network and many accommodation providers, pubs, cafes and tourist information centres will be delighted to share the best local routes.


Cornwall’s most dog-friendly luxury hotel


At Talland Bay Hotel dogs are treated as part of the family.


It’s


the little touches that make four-legged guests feel welcome; There’s a jar of doggy treats handy at reception and a pamper pack left in the bedroom on arrival complete with blanket, bowls and locally handmade treats.


Staff are happy to share print-outs of local walks and a list of dog-friendly attractions to visit nearby.


With the exception of the fine-dining restaurant, dogs are welcome to join their owners in all the main areas of the hotel including the lounge, bar and conservatory restaurant, where they’ll be served a tasty morsel at meal times. There’s also a doggy treats menu for any non-resident diners,


ideal for a snack at lunchtime, dinner or high tea.


Pooches love

exploring the sub-tropical gardens, Coast Path as well as Talland Bay itself, a year-round dog-friendly beach.


When it’s time to rest those weary paws there is a wide range of canine compatible


accommodation to choose from including classic and sea view rooms, as well as garden suites with direct access to the beautiful grounds.


Why not pack the pup and take advantage of a Wallace and Gromit break, which costs from £210 per night based on two people and one dog in a Classic Room including three course dinner in the conservatory, dog treat on arrival and free accommodation for pooches.


Visit www.tallandbayhotel.co.uk for more information.


And then there’s the romantic, wide open spaces of Bodmin Moor: take your hound around and you can enjoy the views from the top of Brown Willy or the prehistoric monuments dotting the rugged landscape.


Some tourist attractions and many gardens allow dogs, too – and places like the National Trust’s Cornish estates are surrounded by lengthy and scenic walks.


In Cornwall, the general rule is that where there’s a good dog walk there’s a good refreshment place; spot them by the dog water bowls outside!


There are even destinations that will make special arrangements for your four-legged friend, such as the Talland Bay Hotel.


There, bed and board for pets includes a cosy blanket, feeding mat and bowl, plus complimentary doggie treat.
