Pet-friendly summary
Up Over Head is a characterful stone cottage in the far west of Cornwall near Penzance, and it makes a peaceful, genuinely dog-friendly base for exploring the Penwith coast. It is a whole cottage to yourselves on a quiet farm, so you and your dog have privacy and space, with the kind of calm, rural setting - birdsong and the odd moo from the cows - that suits dogs who like room to roam.
Guests travelling with a dog have been warmly positive about the welcome here. The owners are described as lovely and genuinely accommodating to dogs, and the location is a big part of the appeal: walks and beaches are close by, with a lighthouse just down the road and the wider Land's End peninsula within easy driving distance. The cottage itself is comfortable and well-equipped, with everything supplied for a relaxed self-catering stay.
A couple of practical notes. The track leading to the farm is rough, so take it slowly - it is part of the charm but worth knowing if you have a low car. The setting is remote, which is exactly the draw for some and a consideration for others; the nearest shop is about a 15-minute walk or short drive. On the formal pet policy, the listing flags the cottage as pet-friendly but does not publish a fee or limit on dogs, and our paw rating here is based on a single confirmed review from a couple who stayed with their dog and rated it top marks - so anyone with more than one dog should confirm the details with the owner first.
Overall it suits a couple or small family after a quiet, scenic far-west Cornwall escape with a dog who will relish the space and the coastal walks.
