On the Beach, Watergate Bay, Cornwall, TR8 4AA
Visit WebsiteWith its truly spectacular beachside location and dedication to offering a warm welcome to ALL guests including four-legged ones, Watergate Bay Hotel is a dog friendly destination that offers so much. It's a hotel that prides itself on being all about balance: being active, heading outdoors amongst the elements, eating and drinking well, spoiling yourself a little, chilling out, getting cosy, and most of all, having a paw-fect time.
Overview
From the moment you arrive, the Atlantic Ocean and the awe-inspiring coastline – there’s a two mile stretch of beach on the doorstep – are an ever-present reminder that you are somewhere where nature rules. Inside, every part of the hotel has been designed to envelope you – and your pooch – in the best of contemporary Cornish comfort.
If you want to experience the best possible views, opt for one of the dog friendly beach lofts. With freestanding baths with a floor-to-ceiling outlook over the ocean, these spacious suites combine the modern feel of a city loft with warm textures, sustainable design and ocean vistas.
When it comes to dining, dogs are welcome in The Living Space; a great alternative to the main Zacry’s Restaurant if you prefer not to leave your pup in your room. The food is simple, seasonal and delicious. Go for a sundowner and sit back and relax on the comfy sofas while marvelling at the beautiful sunset.
You can also take your dog out for dinner at The Beach Hut. A minute’s walk from the hotel, it’s relaxed dining at its best. You’ll want to ask for a seat by the window.
Head to the Swim Club for a heavenly massage if you’re in need of a little pampering. A dip in the infinity pool with views over the ocean is not to be missed. After all, you’ll have earned it after all the ball throwing and cliff path wandering.

Famous for its two-mile stretch of golden sand, Watergate Bay can be found on Cornwall’s north coast, just three miles from the buzzing town of Newquay. Cornwall is home to some of the most sensational seascapes and happily, you can share so many of them with your dog. As some have restrictions in place during the summer months, keep an eye on Cornwall Beaches for the most up to date information.
