Sit. Stay. Relax. Dog-Friendly Breaks at Treloyhan Manor, St Ives

There’s something inherently magical about bringing your dog to St Ives in Cornwall. Known for its golden beaches, turquoise waters, rich wildlife, and artistic soul - it’s a beloved summer hotspot.

Why Autumn in St Ives is Special

In autumn the town slows to a gentler pace, unwinding to offer a more relaxed, authentic Cornish experience. The weather remains mild, with plenty of bright, blustery days, suiting long coastal walks, and long lazy pub lunches by an inviting log fire. The combination making a supaw getaway destination for you and your best friend.
