Pet-friendly summary
Pound Rocks is a spacious single-storey bungalow just back from Tintagel's high street, and it works well for dog owners who want to walk into a village with their dog and still have a quiet, private base to come back to. It is a whole-house rental with an enclosed garden that guests with dogs describe as safe and secure - room for a dog to relax off-lead while you unpack.
The owners welcome one well-behaved dog per booking. Reviewers travelling with dogs return to that enclosed garden as the main draw, and being a level, single-storey property it suits older dogs and anyone who would rather avoid stairs. The village shops and pubs are a minute or two's walk away, with Tintagel Castle and the coast path close by.
One dog owner did flag a small gap in the garden hedge that could let a smaller or determined dog slip through, so it is worth a quick check of the boundary before letting a dog loose. A couple of guests also noted the exterior looking a little tired and some cleaning that could be sharper - none of it dampened the welcome, but it is fair to set expectations.
The bungalow itself is comfortable and well equipped, with a high-quality kitchen and bathroom and off-road parking, and reviewers consistently praise how quiet and private it feels despite the central position.
Pound Rocks suits dog owners who value a walkable village, a secure (if worth-checking) garden and a comfortable single-level layout over a luxury finish. For a relaxed Tintagel base with a dog, the location and enclosed outdoor space are the strong points.
