1 / 24Gillyflower At Golant
Golant, Cornwall
A two bedroom cottage at Golant taking three dogs, with a large enclosed garden, a gated sun deck and an indoor pool on the site.
Three dogs in a two bedroom cottage is an unusually generous ratio, and Gillyflower at Golant offers it alongside an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub and games facilities on the site. Golant is a small village on the Fowey estuary, upriver from the town and a great deal quieter than it.
Large and enclosed, with a gated sun deck, the garden is what makes three dogs practical rather than theoretical: two separate enclosed levels means somewhere for a dog to be while a door stands open. The Fowey to Polkerris coast walk is two and two tenths of a mile and it scores an eight for us, the Gribbin Head circular two and four tenths, and St Catherine's Castle two and six tenths.
Golant is the quiet way to do Fowey. You are on the estuary rather than in the town, with the Saints Way footpath running through the village and the water at the bottom of the hill. For three dogs, a village this small and a garden this enclosed beats anywhere in Fowey proper, where the streets are narrow and finding a space becomes a full time occupation.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Gillyflower At Golant dog friendly?
Yes, and generously so — Gillyflower at Golant accepts up to three dogs, which is a notably high allowance for a two bedroom cottage. The property has a large enclosed garden with two separate levels and a gated sun deck, making it genuinely practical for multiple dogs rather than just technically permitting them.
Are dogs allowed at Gillyflower At Golant year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but as a self-catering cottage rather than a beach with seasonal rules, there's no indication that dog access is limited to certain times of year. We'd recommend confirming directly with the property when you book.
What should I know before visiting Gillyflower At Golant with my dog?
The enclosed garden is a real asset here — two separate levels mean you can manage dogs safely even when doors are open, which makes life noticeably easier with more than one. Golant itself is a small, quiet village on the Fowey estuary, well suited to dogs, and there are several good walks close by including the Fowey to Polkerris coast path at 2.2 miles and the Gribbin Head circular at 2.4 miles.
