Dog Friendly Bed And Breakfasts In St. Austell

What our customers say about their holidays

• Lorna - Verified booking

  This property is well furnished with comfortable furniture and beds, good pillows and bedding.

  The kitchen is well equipped with all the essentials. It is smaller than the pictures makes it appear and we had dog crates with us which makes it quite cramped. There is also some mould on the grouting in the shower and round the window in the bathroom. The welcome pack consists of a packet of Tesco scones, clotted cream and jam. I am gluten and lactose intolerant, the owners obviously did not know but in this day and age with vegetarians, vegans and intolerances couldn’t help feeling it could be more imaginative. The patio doors from the garden go through the bedroom, it was very wet when we stayed and I was terrified a wet, muddy dog would jump on the bed, with careful manoeuvring they didn’t but there was no mop available in the property to wash the floors. We had asked to take 3 dogs via Sykes which the owner agreed to. We did have issues regarding the washing machine and dryer, it was a very wet week when we were there and each time we went to use the washer or drier they were both in use with big notices on them telling us not to remove whatever was in them, there was a contact number, when phoned no one answered, we didn’t bother leaving a message. The hot tub shed is kept locked, which means in effect you have to get permission to use it by asking for the key, which I didn’t. There is nothing in the property about the local area, walks or activities, no leaflets or maps. There is also nothing for if the weather is bad, there are no games, books or playing cards. Due to circumstances I spent a lot of time on my own in the property but had fortunately taken books with me. We did have some issues regarding the adjoining door between properties, we had booked both, I would suggest you get very clear assurances from Sykes and the owner about the arrangements you require before booking.

  Back from a lovely weeks stay.

  We were welcomed by the owner and generous scones and cream tea. The cottage was charming with an airy feel and extremely comfortable beds! The kids loved the novelty of sleeping upstairs whilst we were downstairs and having their own ensuite. We were asked if we wanted the hottub on for our arrival and then were told it would be the next day but we didn't mind. The hottub was also not wood-fired and was in an outbuilding which was a bit of a let down as the scenery and views are spectacular, but, the children enjoyed it. 'Blackrock' was the cottage next door and we stayed in 'Leghorn' on the end. The garden is a little suntrap for early evening lounges - we brought our own picnic blankets. We got to meet the resident, free-range goat who is rather a character. So quiet apart from the sounds of nature and livestock. Our favourite go-to was Charlestown which we well recommend along with The Eden Project.

  Very spacious property.

  Extremely clean and comfortable. All furniture, appliances, crockery etc of high quality. Lovely cream tea ready for us to have at the property on arrival is a lovely touch. Enclosed back garden so the dogs were safe. Hot tub was great every night once we worked it out. Just don’t put too much wood in there or it gets too hot. Property in very quiet surroundings . 20 minute walk to the Eden project or 5 minutes in the car. If you are a runner would definitely recommend going down there to do the parkrun on Saturday morning as you get to stay in the Eden project for free and it’s so worth the visit . Would definitely recommend staying at Blackrock because of how comfortable and spacious it is and in a great location for exploring the Cornish coast

  My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Leghorn (13-20 Sep 2024).

  The accommodation is furnished to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. We loved that the location is extremely quiet and peaceful with a sea view, from the front of the property, but within easy reach of many attractions. The provision of a cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch - thank you. The only suggestions we would make would be to provide a toilet brush, and maybe a little more information on the local area, for example, recommendations for places to eat or visit etc. Although this information is available on the internet, it would have been nice to browse through a folder. Overall, excellent accomodation in a beautiful setting to which we would happily return.

  Beautiful accommodation, great location with amazing views!

  Was disappointed that despite paying to have our dog join us for an additional cost, we were notified on arrival that they could not be left unattended at any time, this did mean we couldn’t go out for an hour or so for a meal or drink without the dog. This should have been more clearly communicated. The dog was not allowed upstairs, which was of course completely understandable but when the gate was left open by mistake and made the bed sheet dirty, we were unable to clean the bedding as there wasn’t the washing machine advertised. We were then billed £28 for a single bed sheet without notice. These two things contributed to a very disappointing experience in the end.
