1 / 8The Three Tuns
Helston, Cornwall
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A listed country inn in St Keverne on the Lizard Peninsula, with five rooms above the tavern and a circular walk from its door for the dog.
In the corner of the village square at St Keverne, on the Lizard Peninsula, The Three Tuns is a listed, stone-built pub first recorded under its name around the year 1900, with the Cornish coast just under a mile away. Walkers are its natural guests, and this dog friendly inn has a circular walk starting straight from the doorstep for you and your dog.
Five newly refurbished ensuite rooms sit above the tavern, and all of them are suitable for well-behaved pooches. Each has modern, chic décor with homely soft furnishings, and views across the village square from the windows. Whether a second dog can come too, the pub's pages don't say, so ask when you book.
On where dogs can sit while you eat, the inn's website doesn't say, so check with the team first. Inside are an intimate bar, cosy snugs, low beamed ceilings and the original crackling fireplace. The menu puts British classics beside modern bistro dishes, from a Sunday roast to the humble bar snack, with real ales, craft beers and a carefully chosen list of cocktails and wine behind the bar.
Outside there is a sun-trapped lawn at the rear and a front patio for watching the village go by. Beyond the doorstep loop, short strolls run through woodland to Porthallow; Porthoustock Beach, which Wildpack lists as the closest beach for dogs, is 1 mile away, and Coverack to Lowland Point Circular is 1.8 miles off when the dog wants a bigger outing.
