- Evidence: 5 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.

Pet-friendly summary
Killigarth Manor Holiday Park is a caravan and lodge park set above the coast between Polperro and Looe, and it goes further for dogs than simply allowing them. Dogs arriving with their owners are given a welcome pack of their own, with treats alongside the human version, which is the sort of touch guests remember.
The location is the strongest argument for bringing a dog. The park sits roughly two miles from each of Polperro and Looe, with the South West Coast Path within reach and views over the water from many of the caravans. Talland Bay is a short walk away and has a car park and cafe, though the path down is a proper coastal climb rather than a stroll, so factor that in for older dogs and small children.
Staff come up regularly as friendly and easy to deal with, and the pet-friendly caravans and lodges are spacious, with bed linen and heating included.
There are things to know. Dogs are restricted to one section of the bar, so evenings on site are less flexible than the daytime. A caravan carrying a lingering wet-dog smell from previous occupants has been reported, and barking from a dog left alone in a neighbouring van has spoiled a stay as well - that is the trade-off at a park where dogs are this common. The on-site entertainment also draws mixed reactions: the pool runs on time slots booked a day ahead, and the evening programme has disappointed families expecting more of it.
It suits couples and families who want a coastal Cornwall base with the dog along, are out walking most of the day, and are not depending on the on-site entertainment. It holds a 4.3/5 paw rating.
