Fourteenth-century mill house at the top of Polperro, which is where the village car park is and therefore where most walks start. Dogs are very welcome in the accommodation as well as the pub, on a lead in the public areas and off the beds. Bring your own dog bedding — the inn asks guests to supply it.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Five miles of National Trust coast west of Polperro, around three hours with 340 metres of climbing over a succession of small combes, and the emptiest cliffs on this side of Cornwall. It starts at the Trust car park beside Lansallos church, a field with an honesty box reached by a long single-track lane, and drops through the smugglers’ cutting to the cove. This is the one to avoid with a big dog: about half a dozen stone stiles are simply not navigable by dogs, several with long drops on the far side, and there is livestock in the fields near Lantic Bay.
A compact two and a half miles between Talland Bay and Polperro harbour, an hour and a half, but steep enough at both ends to earn its moderate to strenuous grade with 160 metres of climbing. Start at the Talland Bay car park above the beach, a small pay-and-display run by the parish, and come back over the fields past Talland church; the alternative is the big Crumplehorn car park at Polperro and walking it the other way round. No stiles and no livestock on the route, which is rare, but Chapel Cliff is a genuine cliff edge with no fence and the descent into Polperro is on steps.
Seventeenth-century fisherman's pub on Polperro's quay with a rooftop beer garden looking over the harbour. Dogs are always welcome and the pub makes a point of it, calling itself a stop for walkers and their four-legged companions. The lanes down are narrow and busy in season, so keep a short lead.
Nobody has written one for The Crumplehorn Inn & Mill. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
