1 / 8The Wellington
Boscastle, Cornwall
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A coaching inn from the 16th century in Boscastle's harbour village, where your dog can settle in the historic bar and gets a Proper Dog hamper.
In a tranquil valley in the harbour village of Boscastle, The Wellington is a 16th century coaching inn with views across the valley and the water moments away. The building is Grade II listed and full of character, and this dog friendly inn has a fire to settle by when you come in off the cliffs.
Dogs have a select number of rooms kept for them, and one of those Dog-Friendly Rooms needs to be secured before you arrive. Every dog is handed the Proper Dog hamper, with Forthglade treats, a tennis ball and biodegradable poo bags inside, and there's something for you too: a beer to take away. Dogs go on leads in the public areas and are never to be left unattended in the bedrooms. If you're travelling with a pair, the inn's own pages don't say whether both can share one room, so ask the team.
Dogs are welcome in the historic bar, once frequented by famous guests, and in most areas of the inn. The main restaurant is the one room at The Wellington closed to dogs, and about mealtime seating the inn's pages don't say more, so ask the team at booking. The menus run from hearty pub favourites to refined specials built on Cornwall's produce, with cosy dinners beside open fires.
The harbour is yours to wander, and Tintagel's legendary castle is there to visit. With the South West Coast Path just moments away, Boscastle to Tintagel Coastal Walk on Wildpack is a mere 0.1 miles away for the dog, while Bossiney Haven, our pick for the closest dog friendly beach, is 2.5 miles away.
