Dogs love self-catering holidays too and Porthleven makes the perfect location for them. With dog-friendly beaches, coastal and woodland walks and dog-friendly pubs and restaurants there is plenty to do.

No dogs between Easter and October but the times have been changed to give an extra 3 hours when dogs are allowed. 9am – 6pm. There are no restrictions on dogs from the other side of Blue Buoys steps (at the Lifeguards Hut)
