Dreckly Cabin - Lydcott Glamping, Looe
Independent pet-friendly review by Four Legged Guests · updated August 2026 · paw rating built from 1 verified guest review mentioning pets
Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Looe / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 9.8/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £20 (max 2 pets, Breeds banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act are not accepted. A dog registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs is accepted only outside the peak school holiday weeks.) - the amount is published but not what it covers, so confirm the terms when you book
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 6 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Dreckly Cabin at Lydcott Glamping sits above the quieter south-east corner of the Cornish coast near Looe, and it is an easy, low-stress place to bring a dog. It is a private cabin with its own outdoor space and a secret garden, so there are no shared corridors or communal areas to negotiate - your dog can potter about outside while you take in the sea views.
Dogs cost £20 and up to two are welcome, added to the booking at the point you reserve. They sleep on the floor rather than the beds or furniture, and because the site adjoins a working farm they stay on a lead or the tether provided. One cabin at Lydcott does not take dogs, so check which one you are booking.
The owners keep four dogs and chickens of their own, which tells you most of what you need to know about how pets are regarded here - dogs are part of the fabric rather than merely tolerated. Guests travelling with a dog describe theirs settling in happily and enjoying both the outdoor space and the company of the resident animals. If your dog is nervous around other dogs, the owners ask to be told in advance so they can plan around it.
Looe and the south-east Cornwall coast path are close by for beach and clifftop walks, and this stretch stays markedly calmer than the big north-coast resorts in high season. Two things to weigh up before booking: dogs cannot be left alone in the cabin at any time, so this suits owners who plan to have their dog with them all day, and a dog registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs is only accepted outside the peak school holiday weeks. For a couple or small family after a private, outdoorsy Cornwall break, Dreckly Cabin earns its 4.5/5 paw rating.
