Pet-friendly summary
Lerryn Lodge is a newer self-catering lodge set in the quiet countryside of southeast Cornwall, near the village of Pelynt and a few miles inland from Looe, and it has clearly been set up with dogs in mind. As a whole-house rental it gives visiting pets a private base with no shared corridors or communal areas, and the standout feature for owners is a dedicated dog paddock - an enclosed patch of ground where a dog can stretch its legs off the lead right beside the accommodation. There is a dog wash station on site too, which is useful after a muddy walk or a beach day, and the deck is gated.
The lodge welcomes dogs, and the surrounding area is well suited to them. Guest feedback highlights how genuinely peaceful the setting is, away from the busier coastal honeypots in high summer, with plenty of walking routes on the doorstep for daily exercise. The host has been praised for a warm, flexible welcome, including waiting up to greet a late arrival and giving guests a friendly tour on arrival.
The lodge sits within a wider retreat, so the ground rules are a little more structured than a standalone cottage: dogs stay on a lead around the site and are kept out of the playgrounds and dining areas, and they cannot be left alone in the lodge or the gardens. Declare your dog when you book rather than on arrival, because a charge is added if an undeclared dog turns up. One practical note: the paddock grass can get long between cuts, though there are plenty of walking routes nearby if it does.
This lodge suits dog owners after peace, space and a private outdoor area over hotel-style amenities - ideal for a quiet countryside break within easy reach of the south Cornwall coast. Dogs are the only pets accepted, and breeds restricted under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 are not.
