- Evidence: 5 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.

Pet-friendly summary
The King of Prussia is a genuinely easy hotel to bring a dog to, and the dog owners who stay tend to come back. Sitting right on the quay in the heart of Fowey, this period inn pairs a warm welcome for dogs with one of the best waterside spots in town, and it earns a 4.8 out of 5 paw rating from guests who brought their dogs along.
Guests travelling with dogs single out how relaxed and welcoming the team are about pets. People mention being made to feel completely at home with their dog in tow, with friendly owners and staff who go out of their way, and several are repeat visitors who book again specifically because the hotel is dog-friendly. The rooms are characterful and well looked after in a handsome period building, and the food and breakfast draw steady praise.
Location is the other big draw. The hotel looks straight out over Fowey's working quay, so you can sit and watch the boats come and go, and you step out of the door into the middle of one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns. There is plenty nearby to walk a dog, from the quayside itself to the coastal paths around the estuary.
A couple of practical notes are worth weighing. Parking is tight, especially in busy spells like Regatta week, so be ready to carry bags up from the car park, which is more of a faff with older dogs that like to take their time. Rooms can be on the snug side in a building of this age. Even so, for couples and small groups who want a characterful, dog-friendly base in the centre of Fowey, the King of Prussia is a confident recommendation.
