How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: No pet-mention guest reviews logged yet. The paw rating will be computed once enough reviews accumulate; until then, treat the page as informational only.
- 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 953 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 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 policy at a glance
- Pets are only allowed in the Superior Family Room - Disability Access and the Family Room (3 Adults) - Disability Access. Pets incur an additional charge of £20 per night, per pet.

Pet-friendly summary
King Arthur's Arms is a traditional village inn on Fore Street in Tintagel, a few minutes' walk from the castle and the South West Coast Path, and it is at its most dog-friendly as a pub. The inn's own dog-friendly information welcomes well-behaved dogs throughout the bar, the dining areas and the patios, with water bowls put out, so a walk on the cliffs can end with a meal and a Cornish ale with the dog at your feet.
Staying the night with a dog is less straightforward, and it is the thing to settle before you book. The inn's access statement says pets cannot usually be accommodated in its bed-and-breakfast rooms. The property's booking listing, by contrast, names two accessible family rooms, the Superior Family Room and the three-adult Family Room, as taking pets for £20 per pet, per night. Those two positions do not fully agree, so ring the inn and get the room confirmed in writing before you travel.
No guest who has stayed overnight with a dog has reviewed the inn yet, so there is nothing to report on how the rooms work in practice. General guest feedback is strong, at 9.0/10 across more than 950 reviews. Practical points guests mention include a free car park beside the inn, a house that goes quiet at 11pm, and a narrow staircase up to some rooms, with at least one family room using a bathroom across the landing.
Tintagel is good dog-walking country, with the coast path running past the village and the wooded walk to St Nectan's Glen close by. King Arthur's Arms suits dog owners looking for a friendly pub base for days on the north Cornish coast; anyone hoping to keep the dog with them overnight should treat that call to the inn as essential.
