Here at Bosinver we completely understand that you dog is part of your family, so we want to make sure you all – including the furry ones – are made as welcome as possible.
Cornwall is a wonderful place to have a break with your dog – especially in Autumn, Winter and Spring when the weather is a little cooler and more beaches are available to enjoy together.
We have 9 dog-friendly cottages set in over 30 acres of meadows and woodland for you all to explore and we are only a 10 minute drive from some of Cornwall’s beautiful dog friendly beaches.*
*Please note: some beaches welcome dogs all year round, others have a seasonal or time restricted ban – for the latest on this and many other recommendations for the best days out on Cornwall for dog lovers see the comprehensive Dog Friendly Cornwall’s website
We’ve also got an excellent book of tried and tested Cornish dog walks written by the owner of a lovely dalmatian called Toby. Just ask in the office if you’d like to borrow it.
Do let us know if you have any queries relating to staying at Bosinver with your dog – we will do our best to help.
If you book one of our dog-friendly cottages (shown with a paw print symbol) you can bring one large or two small dogs with you. Please let us know in advance so we can make sure we can give your canine companion a suitable welcome when you arrive. There is a charge of £40 per dog per week (or part week).
Please note that dogs aren’t allowed in any of our cottages during the Whitsun half term week or the main school summer holidays – we know that you will have a much more enjoyable holiday with your dog outside the main busy season. We also regret that we cannot accept puppies under one-year-old at any time due to the potential risk of damage to furnishings.
There are walks across the fields down to the lake and village where dogs can run free, but please keep them on a lead if there is livestock around. All our cottages have their own private outdoor space, but please note that they aren’t enclosed or gated. As we’ve got free range chickens and ducks roaming around the farm, please keep your dog on a lead around the cottages.
Please bring your dog’s bowls and basket with you and some towels to wipe their feet with – we have a dog wash station for washing any mud off your pooch after a lovely walk.
Each of the dog friendly cottages has a porch (or in the case of the Farmhouse, a tiled kitchen) and we are happy for you to leave dogs in their dog crates in the the porch, but otherwise please don’t leave dogs on their own in your cottage. If you have to go out without them, we’ve got a kennel enclosure where you can leave them safely with us for a few hours, or you can get in touch with a local pet-sitter (best to book in advance).
