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.

- Wider context: The property has 53 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 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
Chydour is a cosy, dog-friendly apartment in Penzance, a comfortable and good-value base for dog owners exploring the far west of Cornwall. Warm, central and welcoming to dogs at no extra charge, it suits owners who want a snug bolthole within easy reach of Penzance, Newlyn and the Land's End peninsula.
Dog owners have had a relaxing time here. Guests travelling with dogs describe it as peaceful, quiet and clean, with comfy beds and a spacious shower, and one couple appreciated that a dog is welcome without any extra charge, which is always a bonus. A wood burner keeps the apartment nicely warm, making it a particularly cosy choice for an out-of-season break.
The location works well for getting out and about. It is excellent for local sightseeing, with Penzance's seafront, Newlyn's harbour and the dog-friendly beaches and coast path of west Cornwall all within easy reach for varied walks with your dog.
The main thing to be aware of is that this is a basement apartment, so it is light on views and does not have its own outdoor space, making it better suited to a winter or sightseeing break than a sunny garden stay. A couple of minor maintenance niggles have been mentioned too. For dog owners after a warm, central and genuinely dog-welcoming Penzance base, Chydour earns a solid 4.4 out of 5 paw rating.
