How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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 6 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.5/10 - 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
No 1 St Eia is a whole house in St Ives, one of Cornwall's most dog-friendly seaside towns, and it makes a comfortable base for a couple or family travelling with dogs. You have the property to yourselves, and one feature stands out for dog owners: a small gated front yard, which guests have singled out as genuinely useful when you have dogs - a safe, enclosed bit of outdoor space right at the door.
The location is a big draw. St Ives has several dog-friendly beaches (with the usual seasonal restrictions on the main town beaches in high summer), a harbour and coast-path walks, so there is plenty to do with a dog within easy reach. The house itself is well equipped, with a wood burner, good wifi and a comfortable, well-kept interior.
Helpfully, the pet policy here is clearly stated: up to two dogs are welcome for an additional £40 per pet, per week, and the owners ask that you let them know you are bringing a dog when you book. Our paw rating is based on a single confirmed review from a couple who stayed with dogs and appreciated the dog-friendly setup, though they noted a few minor issues around the house that the owners said they were addressing. With one report to go on, it is worth confirming current details with the owner before booking.
Overall this suits a couple or small family after a dog-friendly base in the heart of St Ives, with an enclosed yard and easy access to beaches and the coast path.
