Old Success Inn, Sennen Cove
Proudly perched on Sennen Beach’s waterfront, make the Old Success your base for discovering all Cornwall has to offer. Sennen Cove beach isn't dog friendly as it has a seasonal dog ban between May and September, however you’ll find the secluded Gwyner Beach just around the corner allowing pups to play all year round.
Take to the coastal path together and discover the most westerly point in the UK, Land’s End. A popular spot throughout the year, dogs are welcome when kept on the lead. Extend your walkies and you’ll soon find the magical Nanjizal Cove – another year-round dog friendly beach, perfect for your pup to splash around in the waves!
Looking to learn more about Cornwall's wildlife? A visit to the region would be incomplete without a trip to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. And, while it's just under an hour from the Old Success Inn, it's a fantastic chance for your land pup to meet the dogs of the sea! Come rain or shine, meet some of the locals with a day-trip.
If you’re looking for dog friendly accommodation in Sennen Cove, the Old Success Inn has it all. And of course, your four-legged friend can join you in the pub for a pawper pint.
Port William, Tintagel
Explore Tintagel, part of Cornwall’s dramatic north coast, before retreating to the Port William to cosy up after your adventures together. With Trebarwith Strand Beach welcoming dogs throughout the year, your loveable canine companion needn’t miss out on its famous views, caves and golden sands. The nearby Bossiney Cove is a hidden gem in the area that many miss, lying just a mile from Tintagel, it’s perfect for adventurous pooches and their owners.
With 630 miles of the South West Coast Path to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice but, the stretch from Trebarwith Stand to Port Isaac is a particularly rewarding route. Overcome steep inclines and you’ll be rewarded with glorious views stretching across the ocean before reaching the picture-postcard fishing village of Port Isaac – famously known as the setting for ITV’s Doc Martin series.
For more iconic views, take a quick 20-minute drive to Pentire Point, near Polzeath, where you’ll find ‘The Rumps’ – a rock formation said to resemble a restful dragon.

Nestled around the corner from Exmouth lies Budleigh Salterton Beach, a 2.5-mile pebble beach flanked by the Jurassic Coast’s unmistakable red sandstone cliffs.

Mason Arms, Branscombe
The picture-postcard village of Branscombe serves as a fantastic base for exploring all dog-friendly Devon has to offer. Paw your way over into rural bliss, while still in walking distance of the breath-taking Jurassic Coast.
With its own secluded shingle slice of the South Devon coastline, Branscombe Beach is a must-visit with your canine companion, lying just a short stroll from the pub.
