- Evidence: 10 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
Spindrift is a self-catering apartment above Porth on the edge of Newquay, with wide views across the bay and the Cornish cliffs. It is a comfortable, immaculately kept place to stay, and the host welcomes one well-behaved dog, with several thoughtful touches that make travelling with a dog genuinely easy.
Dog owners are consistently enthusiastic about this one. The apartment is on the ground floor, so there are no stairs to negotiate with a dog, and guests have arrived to find spare dog bowls already provided. The location is the real draw for anyone with a four-legged companion: Porth beach sits at the bottom of the road, there are fabulous cliff and coast-path walks straight from the door, and a dog-friendly pub is about a five-minute stroll away along the beach. Whipsiderry beach and other Cornish spots are all within easy reach for longer days out.
A couple of practical things are worth knowing. The road down to the beach is steep, so the walk back up is a decent pull, and some guests choose to drive down and use the paid parking instead. The apartment is also not fully soundproof, with a nearby building site flagged in the listing and some noise carrying between flats, so a dog that is easily unsettled by sound may notice it.
Spindrift suits dog owners who want a comfortable coastal base with beaches, cliff walks and a dog-friendly pub close by, and who will appreciate the easy ground-floor access and the welcoming, hands-on host.
