Stay in St Ives With Your Sidekick

Forget compromising on quality when you travel with a dog. Our luxury dog-friendly cottages offer stylish, thoughtfully designed homes that welcome pets with open arms. Think private gardens for a morning sniff-about, cosy lounges for evening cuddles, and locations just a bone’s throw from the beach. It’s luxury without leaving anyone behind.

Beaches, Walks & Wagging Tails

St Ives is bursting with outdoor adventures for you and your dog. Take a paddle at dog-friendly Bamaluz Beach, or set off along the South West Coast Path for cliff-top views and sea breezes you’ll both love. Just a short drive away you’ll find the vast Porthkidney Sands which is dog-friendly all year round, along with Mexico Towans – a dream for dogs with plenty of energy to burn off. Whether it’s sunrise strolls or salty-air afternoons, there’s no shortage of ways to explore together.

 

Dog-friendly restaurants in St Ives

St Ives doesn’t just tolerate dogs — it embraces them. You’ll find pubs like The Sloop Inn, The Rum & Crab Shack and Lifeboat Inn where water bowls are filled, tails are wagged, and no one bats an eye at a pup under the table. Restaurants like Porthmeor Beach Cafe, Porthminster Beach Cafe and The Balcony Bar and Kitchen all welcome dogs in their outdoor dining areas. Add in the town’s art galleries, cobbled lanes, and welcoming community, and you’ve got the ultimate pet-friendly holiday vibe.

For holidaymakers with dogs, St Ives offer the best of both worlds: luxury for you, adventure for your dog, and unforgettable memories for you both. When the Cornish coast is calling, don’t leave your best friend behind — bring them with you for a holiday you’ll never forget.
