Pet-friendly summary
Gull Cottage is a cosy holiday house in Tintagel with one feature that guests with dogs mention again and again: a fully enclosed garden, so the dog can be let out safely without a lead. It sits on a quiet road less than five minutes' walk from the village shops and pubs, with the South West Coast Path and dog-friendly beaches close by, and it earns a 4.8/5 paw rating.
Up to two pets can stay. Inside, the cottage is described as warm, clean and well equipped, with roomy bedrooms, a comfortable living room and a porch with plenty of hanging space for wet coats and leads, which helps after a muddy walk on the cliffs. The garden has seating in both sun and shade, and the owner lives on site and is consistently described as friendly, quick to reply and full of suggestions for places to visit.
The main caveat is the garden gate: very small dogs, such as Chihuahuas, have been able to squeeze underneath it, so owners of tiny breeds should check the gap on arrival. The fixtures and fittings are on the dated side, the hob is slow to heat, and some guests have found kitchen appliances in need of attention.
For a dog owner wanting a relaxed North Cornwall base with a secure garden, Tintagel on the doorstep and the coast path a short walk away, Gull Cottage is an easy recommendation.
