1 / 8Rising Sun
Saint Mawes, Cornwall
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A pub with rooms on the harbour in St Mawes, where dogs are welcome in most areas, bar included, and arrive to a Proper Dog hamper.
The Rising Sun lies at the heart of St Mawes, overlooking the harbour of this fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula, with the Carrick Roads sailing waters alongside. It is a pub with boutique rooms, open from morning coffee and brunch through to dinner and drinks, and a dog friendly inn where your dog can join you in most of the building.
A select number of the rooms take dogs, and every stay includes a full breakfast; some of the en-suite rooms enjoy sea views. Dogs arrive to a Proper Dog hamper holding a tennis ball, some Forthglade treats and biodegradable poo bags, plus a beer for you to take home. In public areas dogs are kept on leads, and they can't be left unattended in the bedrooms, so plan days out together.
Dogs can come into the bar and most other areas, though not into the main restaurant, so tell the team if you need a dog friendly space when you book a table. The menu pairs pub classics with specials made from fresh local ingredients, served with St Austell Brewery pints, cocktails and coastal wines, and there's an outside garden for eating with a view.
St Mawes Beach is 0.1 miles away, so read its page on Wildpack about dogs before heading down; meanwhile Trelissick Estate and Roundwood Quay Walk, a Wildpack route, is 4.1 miles from the pub.
