1 / 8The Esplanade Hotel
Newquay, Cornwall
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A beachside hotel overlooking Fistral Beach in Newquay, with dog beds, bowls and an on-site dog wash for sandy paws after a day out.
Muddy paws after a day of exploring are taken care of at The Esplanade Hotel, which has its own self-service dog wash on site. The hotel overlooks Fistral Beach in Newquay, steps away from the sand, and this four star, family minded dog friendly hotel says plainly that it loves dogs.
A selection of dog friendly rooms, many with outside access, is set aside for guests bringing a dog, and yours gets the use of a dog bed and a dog bowl for the stay. All well behaved hounds are welcome; just tell the hotel ahead of time that yours is coming, as it wants them to feel at home. The hotel's pages don't say what the limit is on dogs per room, or if you can leave the dog alone in the room, so put both questions to the Esplanade team when you book.
Elements Cocktail Bar and Cove Restaurant both look out to sea, with modern British and European cooking from local produce in Cove, plus afternoon tea and brunch. Dogs aren't allowed in Cove Restaurant, and the hotel doesn't say whether they can join you in Elements Cocktail Bar, so check before you settle in with your dog.
Inside there is a heated indoor pool with a hot tub and a sauna, along with a games room and a cinema, and the Quiksilver Surf School overlooks the south end of Fistral Beach. For the dog, Wildpack's map puts Perranporth Beach 5 miles away as the nearest dog friendly beach, and Holywell Bay to Penhale Sands, one of Wildpack's walks, is 2.8 miles from the hotel.
