Pet-friendly summary
Refurbished Beach Lodge is a smartly renovated lodge on the hillside above Looe on Cornwall's south coast, a short drive from the town and close to the beach. It is let as a whole property with a large sea-view terrace, and while it earns strong overall ratings, the dog-specific feedback so far comes from a small number of stays, so the notes below are an early, honest read rather than the final word.
That early feedback is positive. The property welcomes one dog per booking, and the guest who reported back with a dog found it clean, tastefully finished and comfortable, with a genuinely accommodating host. The whole-lodge format, the big terrace with a barbecue and loungers, and the quiet elevated position all suit a dog well, and the sea views and nearby beach make for easy walks.
One practical caveat matters and it is dog-specific: the lodge has an open front and a balcony with no gate, so there is nothing to stop a dog or a small child reaching the edge. A guest specifically wished for a gate to contain their dog, so owners of a bolter or a puppy should plan to supervise on the terrace. The upper loft is also reached by a flight of steps, worth knowing for an older dog.
It suits a couple or family travelling with one well-settled dog who want a modern, sea-view base near Looe with plenty of outdoor terrace space, and who are comfortable keeping an eye on a dog around the open balcony.
