A Dog Owners Guide To Staying With Us

Planning a stay with us at The Bay Talland and want to bring your furry friend along? We’ve got you covered with our guide to dog owners visiting Looe. There are lots of walks and beaches you can explore, dog-friendly pubs to eat in and many more things to do.

Dog-Friendly Beaches and Walks

As you venture out with your dog, there are lots of great walks to take them on. And if you’re looking for a lovely coastal walk, this roughly 90-minute trek from Looe to Talland and finishing at Polperro is a great way to stretch your furbabies legs and keep them fit during your stay. For a shorter more scenic nature walk, a 30-minute walk from Harbour House to East Looe along a coastal footpath gives your dog plenty of sniffing spots and a beautiful ocean view.




If your dog loves running on open sand and swimming in fresh ocean water, visiting a beach is necessary. And one that is a must is Downderry Beach, at low tides it connects to other beaches, so that’s a bonus! It’s also open all year round. If you are interested in some more beaches that you and your dog can visit, our blog on the best beaches in Cornwall is for you.

Dog-Friendly Places To Eat

After a long day of exploring you are both going to want to rest up and grab a bite to eat, and Looe is full of dog-friendly eateries. The Smugglers Cott is one of these places that welcome dogs and offer plenty of treats from behind the bar. They also let their humans order from their delicious menu too! On an evening why not head over to Stargazy Bar & Grill? Its amazing views are in the name, also with great views overlooking the rolling countryside, it’s a great place to take in the fresh air while enjoying a nice pint with your furry friend.

Staying At One Of Our Dog-Friendly Cottages

While staying in one of our pet-friendly cottages we can ensure your dog will be happy. If you’re coming along with just your dog and perhaps a partner, our Lower Barns apartment is a great option. Nice and cosy, it’s a lovely place to stay. Or for those larger parties, House 8 is a great pet-friendly property. Your dog will love the outdoor area, featuring a place for them to run around and a bed for them to relax on while you enjoy some time in the hot tub.
