What Dog Owners Say
The doorman walking his dachshund at the entrance is the first thing you see on arrival — it sets the tone immediately. Staff throughout the stay were genuinely warm with our border terrier, and the room was well set up with space for a dog bed without feeling cramped.
The estate walks along the Helford were magical — 65 acres and we barely covered half of it. Our Spaniel had the time of his life with the dog stick library. We used the spa in the afternoon while he slept off his walk. The dog welcome gift was a lovely touch. Will absolutely return.
