Eton Court Apartments, Newquay

Eton Court Apartments offer a roomy, sea-view base right in the middle of Newquay, and they have proved a reliable choice for families and groups travelling with a dog. These are large self-catering apartments on Mount Wise, a short walk from the high street and the beaches, and owners with dogs consistently mention how easy the whole set-up is.

Dogs are clearly part of the plan here. Guests regularly note dog bowls waiting in the apartment and a warm welcome on arrival, and the spacious, multi-bedroom layout gives a dog plenty of room to settle after a day out. The apartments take up to two dogs for a fee of around £25 per dog per stay, and the owners ask that dogs are house trained, kept off the beds and furniture, and not left alone in the apartment. Larger dogs are catered for, with a generous weight allowance.

The location is a real strength for dog owners. You are within easy walking distance of the town, the harbour and several beaches, though it is worth knowing that Newquay is hilly, so the walk back up from the seafront is a proper workout. Parking on site takes the usual seaside hassle out of arriving with a dog and all its kit.

The picture that comes through from guests who travelled with dogs is consistently positive, which is what earns Eton Court its 4.6 out of 5 paw rating. People highlight the space, the cleanliness on arrival and the sea views as much as the dog-friendly touches.

Eton Court suits dog owners who want a spacious, central Newquay base with parking and beach access close by, and who are happy to keep a dog off the furniture and supervised indoors. With room for up to two dogs, it works well for families or small groups bringing a pet along.
