Duchy of Cornwall Cottages

The Duchy of Cornwall offers a carefully selected collection of dog-friendly holiday cottages in some beautiful corners of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. With properties surrounded by countryside, woodland and coast, there are plenty of options for a holiday where getting outside with your dog is a big part of the plan.

The dog-friendly accommodation varies considerably in size and style. There are smaller cottages that work well for couples, two and three-bedroom properties for families, and larger houses for groups wanting to stay together. The collection includes cottages around the Restormel Estate near Lostwithiel, properties at Tresemple near Truro and other locations across Cornwall, as well as dog-friendly stays on the Isles of Scilly.

Many of the cottages welcome up to two well-behaved dogs, although the exact policy varies between properties. A dog charge applies at participating cottages, so it’s worth checking the individual property details when choosing where to stay.

Outdoor space is a real advantage at many of the dog-friendly properties. Depending on the cottage, you may have a private or enclosed garden, while selected properties at Tresemple have access to a separate dog exercise area. Around Restormel, woodland and countryside provide plenty of opportunities for walks, and elsewhere you’ll find coast paths, beaches and rural trails within easy reach.

Each cottage is individually furnished and equipped for a comfortable self-catering stay. Facilities vary by property but can include wood burners, private gardens, barbecues, EV charging and games rooms. Guests staying at selected Restormel cottages can also make use of shared leisure facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and tennis court.

The different locations make it easy to choose a stay that suits the kind of holiday you want with your dog. You could spend your days exploring woodland and quiet country lanes, head towards the Cornish coast for beach walks or choose an island stay surrounded by the scenery of the Isles of Scilly.

For dog-friendly holiday cottages in Cornwall with plenty of character and excellent walking nearby, the Duchy of Cornwall collection offers a good choice of places to stay for couples, families and larger groups travelling with their dogs.
