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.

- Wider context: The property has 6 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.5/10 - 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 policy at a glance
- Please note that a maximum of 2 Pets is allowed. Please note that pets will incur an additional charge of £40 per pet/per week. Please inform the property in advance of your stay/during the booking process if you plan to bring a pet..
Pet-friendly summary
No 1 St Eia is a whole house in the middle of St Ives, one of Cornwall's most dog-friendly seaside towns, and it works well for a couple or family travelling with dogs. You have the property to yourselves, and the feature that matters most for dog owners is the small gated front yard: a safe, enclosed patch of outdoor space right at the door, which saves a full walk every time the dog needs to go out.
Up to two dogs are welcome at £40 per pet, per week, and the owners ask that you tell them you are bringing a dog when you book.
Inside, the house is set up for a comfortable self-catering stay, with a wood burner, reliable wifi and a well-kept, characterful interior. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: the house is usually described as spotless where it counts, but there have been arrivals that fell short, and the owners have a track record of putting things right quickly when told. Kitchen kit is the other recurring grumble, with a few basics missing, so bring anything you rely on.
The location is the real draw. The harbour, the town beaches and the coast path are all within a few minutes' walk, and St Ives has plenty of cafes and pubs that will take a dog outside or in the bar. The main town beaches carry seasonal dog restrictions through the summer, so the coast path and the shoulder months are the easy options.
This suits a couple or small family after a dog-friendly base in the heart of St Ives, with an enclosed yard at the door and the beaches and coast path a short walk away. Bring your own kitchen basics, and flag anything that is not right on arrival.
