Pet-friendly summary
The Poop Deck is a bright, comfortable apartment above the fishing village of Coverack on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula, with sea views over the bay and an enclosed garden that dog owners rate highly. Guests who brought their dogs give it a 4.6/5 paw rating, and several have come back for repeat stays.
The secure garden is the standout: owners of escape-minded dogs report that it held them, and older dogs are happy pottering on the patio. Welcome touches are a recurring theme, with cream tea, flowers, local milk and treats for the dogs waiting on arrival. Inside it is all on one level once you are up the front steps, warm, well equipped and thoughtfully furnished, and the beds come in for particular praise.
The location suits active dogs. The coast path is right there, the village, beach and pubs are a couple of hundred yards down the hill, and Coverack itself has a welcoming, dog-friendly feel. Watching seals, dolphins and diving gannets from the sitting room is a bonus.
There are caveats. The apartment is up a steep hill with steps to the front door, which will not suit every dog or owner. Cleanliness has not always been consistent, with at least one stay starting in a property that needed a thorough re-clean, and smaller housekeeping slips reported on late arrival.
For couples or small families with one or two dogs who want sea views, a safe garden and the coast path on the doorstep, The Poop Deck is a lovely choice.
