About This Guide
Cornwall has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Hotel Tresanton, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Boskerris Hotel offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Trevose Harbour House provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Cornwall, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Pack your pet's favourite bed or blanket to help them settle in unfamiliar surroundings.
Ask the concierge for pet-friendly restaurant recommendations near the hotel.
Research Cornwall's parks and green spaces before arrival for exercise options.
