How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 6 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 39 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 6.7/10 - 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
This budget annexe in Bodmin is a practical, no-frills option for an overnight stop or a short stay with a dog in mid-Cornwall. It works best for people who need somewhere convenient and reasonably priced, such as visiting family or house hunting, rather than a holiday treat.
On the dog side, the basics are covered. There is a garden for dogs to go out in, and a dog bowl, poo bags and a towel for wet paws have been provided. The owner is described as helpful and accommodating, including for guests arriving with two dogs and a cat, and off-road parking on the driveway is a welcome bonus.
Opinions on the annexe itself are much more mixed, and that is reflected in the 4.0/5 paw rating. Several guests, with and without dogs, have reported a damp smell, kitchen equipment that was not clean, a shower that drains slowly and doors that are awkward to lock. The approach is down a narrow, sometimes muddy path, and the drive is tight to park in. The owner's own dog lives on site, so it is worth mentioning yours when booking if it is not keen on other dogs. The listing does not set out a pet fee, so confirm that with the owner too.
If you need a simple, dog-friendly base close to Bodmin and keep expectations modest, it does the job. Anyone wanting a spotless, polished holiday let would be better looking elsewhere in the area.
