How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews 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 25 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.8/10 - 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-friendly summary
7 Four Seasons is a self-contained apartment at Carbis Bay, on the edge of St Ives, and it makes an easy base for a couple bringing a dog to this stretch of the Cornish coast. Because you have the whole apartment, there are no shared indoor spaces to manage, and up to two dogs can come at £25 per dog.
The detail dog owners pick out most is the small park directly across the road, which turns the first and last walks of the day into a short step outside rather than an expedition. There is a parking space with the apartment, a bus route into St Ives close by and a balcony looking out over Carbis Bay. Inside, guests describe a spacious, nicely decorated apartment with a properly equipped kitchen, a deep bath and room to spread out, which suits a dog that likes a corner of its own.
A few things to plan around. The apartment is on the second floor, which is worth knowing if your dog is elderly, large or unenthusiastic about stairs. Ceilings are low in places, enough that taller guests have knocked their heads, and the mattress in the second bedroom is on the soft side. The main beaches around St Ives and Carbis Bay also operate seasonal dog restrictions through the summer, so in peak months check which beaches are open to dogs before you go. Outside those months this is prime dog-walking territory, with the coast path between Carbis Bay and St Ives right on the doorstep.
For a couple with one or two dogs who want a quiet, comfortable Cornish base with green space opposite and St Ives a short bus ride away, it is a sound choice.
