Pasadena, Newquay

Pasadena is a roomy whole-house rental on Treforda Road in Newquay, a short hop from the town beaches and the north Cornwall coast path. Having the place to yourselves is the main draw for dog owners here - no shared corridors, no reception to walk past, and enough space indoors that a dog can settle somewhere quiet while the rest of the house gets on with the holiday.

Dogs are welcome and up to two can come along on a booking. Guests travelling with dogs pick out the practical things: on-site parking, which is far from guaranteed in Newquay in season, an easy key collection, and useful local pointers from the host on where to eat and walk.

The garden is the one thing to plan around. It is a good size, but it is not fully secure, so it is not a space to let a dog off the lead unsupervised - a determined escaper would find a way out. Treat it as somewhere to potter about under supervision and save the proper exercise for the beaches and the cliff path. Feedback also notes the house could do with some upkeep in places, with the odd light not working, so it is comfortable and spacious rather than newly finished.

Newquay suits a dog holiday well once you know the rules. The main town beaches carry seasonal dog restrictions over the summer, so it is worth checking the current dates for the ones you plan to use; the quieter coves and the coast path north towards Watergate Bay give you miles of walking whatever the season. The property booking listing does not publish a pet fee or a weight limit, so confirm the current terms with the host when you book.

Best suited to families or groups who want space, parking and an easy Newquay base, and who are content to keep the dog on a lead in the garden. It earns a 4.3/5 paw rating.
