Portloe is a fishing village surrounded by cliffs and headlands on the Cornish coast path, and The Lugger Hotel sits right on the water's edge in the centre of it. There are 22 bedrooms and three private cottages, many rooms look out over the sea or the harbour, and this dog friendly hotel opens all of its bedrooms to dogs.

The rule is one dog per room, and the hotel asks you to say when booking that your dog is coming so it can make the necessary arrangements. Dogs aren't permitted in Cobb Cottage, the three-bedroom self-catering cottage. Bedrooms are dressed in crisp linen and Portuguese woods, and some have a balcony or terrace with panoramic views. Before planning an evening out, note that the Lugger's pages don't mention whether a dog may stay behind in the room, so ask the team.

At mealtimes your dog's place isn't settled either: the hotel doesn't say where dogs can be while you eat, so check before reserving a table. The two AA Rosette restaurant leans on Cornish produce and locally caught fish and seafood, with Cornish cheeses to finish and views over the sea and harbour, and cream teas and afternoon teas are served each afternoon, with a day's notice for the full afternoon tea.

The Sunday Times named The Lugger its Best Seaside Hotel, and the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are within easy reach. With the South West Coast Path nearby, Portloe Beach is the sand Wildpack lists closest to the hotel for dogs, and Gorran Haven to Dodman Point Circular is a Wildpack walk 4.7 miles away.
