Dog-Friendly Hotel in Falmouth, Cornwall

A Victorian manor house above Falmouth Bay, with two private self-catering residences set in their own gardens, a heated pool, an award-winning spa, and a policy that welcomes dogs, Merchants Manor is a top choice for dog friendly hotel in Cornwall.

Adults-Only and Dog-Friendly

A combination rarely found in Cornwall. Mercahants Manor is exclusively an adults-only hotel so it’s just you, your partner and your pup. Quiet, autonomous grown up time that leaves you feeling refreshed.

What that means in practice: a spa and pool that stays calm. Mornings that belong to you. No one else's children in the corridors, no one else's dog at the breakfast table. Just a well-run place where your day looks exactly the way you want it too, not based on the pool schedule.

Our Dog-Friendly Rooms

Our Original House Rooms are the perfect luxurious base for exploring Cornwall with your dog. Surrounded by history, tucked in the main house, they're close enough to the garden for an easy last walk before bed, and just as close to breakfast in the morning

From cosy singles to larger suites with a bath and balcony, you’ll find you and your pooch have plenty of room to relax after a long walk on the coast path.

The impressive period building has traditional bedrooms with private bathrooms and tea and coffee facilities. All rooms offer tea and coffee making facilities and Temple Spa amenities. Room service is also available.

Falmouth Is a Good Town for Dogs

Gyllyngvase Beach is five minutes on foot. A wide, south-facing bay that stays open to dogs outside the summer season and gives you a decent stretch of sand when the tide is out.

Swanpool is quieter still, backed by a nature reserve. Castle Beach tucks in beneath the walls of Pendennis Castle with an atmosphere that feels discovered but not gatekept.

The Fal Estuary is ten minutes by water taxi. The South West Coast Path picks up close to the manor. The town itself is walkable, famously independent, and many places are dog friendly, making it the kind of place where having them with you feels natural and easy rather than a drag.

Merchants Manor sits above the town on Western Terrace, close enough to walk to all of it and far enough back to feel like you're somewhere quiet.
