The Copley Arms

Downderry, Cornwall

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A 17th century riverside pub in Hessenford with eight bedrooms, fires throughout and a welcome pack of travel essentials for every dog.

Beside the River Seaton in Hessenford, The Copley Arms is a 17th century riverside pub with eight bedrooms, stone walls, beamed ceilings and fires throughout. The beaches at Seaton and Downderry are five minutes away, and this dog friendly inn hands every visiting dog a welcome pack of travel essentials.

Five of the bedrooms are above the pub and three in the cottage, all ensuite, individually styled and calm, with Bramley toiletries. Which rooms suit a dog, the number allowed and whether one may be left in the room are all points the inn doesn't say, so ask the team as you book.

Dogs are welcome all through the pub and the restaurant, so yours can stay at your side from lunch to dinner. The menu pairs pub classics with British favourites, built on fresh local produce from the Westcountry, with pizzas and Sunday roasts too, and the traditional bar, open all day, pours local ales and an interesting, varied wine list. The riverside patio looks onto the River Seaton as it rolls by.

Seaton, Whitsand Bay and Looe are among the inn's favourite beaches, so check each one's dog rules before you go with your dog. Polkerris Beach, 13.7 miles off, is where Wildpack's map puts the nearest dog friendly sand.
