  • Wider context: The property has 10 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.2/10 - 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.

Pet-friendly summary

St Anthony Cottage is a whole house on the Roseland peninsula near St Mawes, and it is set up nicely for a holiday with a dog. You have the entire property to yourselves, and guests have specifically praised how well the layout works for visitors travelling with dogs - the kind of practical, easy-going setup that takes the stress out of a self-catering break with a pet.

The location is a real strength for dog owners. The cottage is well placed for the Roseland coast path, so there is direct access to some of the quieter, more scenic walking in this part of Cornwall, and St Mawes - with its harbour, restaurants and pubs - is close by for meals out. It is a calmer, less crowded corner of the county than the big north-coast resorts, which tends to suit dogs who prefer a quieter setting.

On the formal pet policy, the listing flags the cottage as pet-friendly but does not publish a fee, weight limit or cap on the number of dogs, and our paw rating here is based on a single confirmed review from a group who stayed with a dog and rated the house well. With one report to go on, anyone bringing more than one dog or a larger breed should confirm the details with the owner before booking. Worth noting too that parking is tight for two cars.

Overall this suits a couple, family or small group after a relaxed, coast-path-focused Roseland break with a well-behaved dog, within easy reach of St Mawes.
