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 8.8/10 - 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 policy at a glance

Pet-friendly summary
Tremar is a single-storey bungalow on a quiet residential estate in St Ives, and for a dog it has the two things that matter most: an enclosed back garden and no stairs. Up to two dogs are welcome. The garden means you are not walking into town every time the dog needs out, and the level layout suits an older dog, one recovering from something, or anything with dodgy hips.
There is plenty of room inside, with a well-equipped kitchen and generous living space, and the location earns consistent praise. The train station, the beach and coast-path walks are all close, and St Ives itself is near enough for an evening out. Owners who know the estate come back to it year after year, which says something about how well it works as a base.
The honest caveat is cleanliness. The bungalow is not dirty, but the standard of the changeover clean is the thing guests raise most often: skirting boards, door panels and marks on corridor walls left unattended, a shower that needed going over, and on occasion a bathroom smell and a toilet that had been missed. If that would bother you, it is worth a look round on arrival and a word with the owner while there is still time to put it right.
One small scheduling quirk worth knowing: the gardener has turned up as early as eight in the morning mid-stay, which is not ideal if your dog announces visitors.
Best suited to owners of one or two dogs who want single-level living and a private, enclosed garden in a quiet corner of St Ives, and who will forgive a changeover clean that can be hit and miss.
