We are happy to accept your dog in certain Trevorrick Farm cottages and understand that for many guests a holiday wouldn’t feel complete without their four-legged family member. That said, Trevorrick is a very small, working farm with free-range poultry, sheep (and their lambs), high quality cottages and sharied facilities welcoming a mix of guests of all ages. For that reason, we have a few important guidelines.

We appreciate that our approach may not suit all dog owners, and we thank you for your understanding.

Before You Book

• Please enquire before booking if you wish to bring a dog.
  We only accept dogs that we feel are suitable for our cottages and farm environment.

• Young dogs and puppies are not accepted.

• Dogs are generally not accepted during school holidays, when the farm is busier and more family-focused.

• For young families, the best overall farm experience may be achieved without bringing a dog, as dogs can limit access to some areas and activities both on and off the farm.

Our priority is always:

• The safety and welfare of our animals, including poultry, sheep, and their lambs

• The comfort and safety of guests who may not enjoy being around dogs

• Protecting our cottages and furnishings from accidents or damage

• Maintaining a calm, relaxing atmosphere on the farm

A Note for Families

For families with young children, the best farm experience may be not to bring a dog. Having a dog with you can limit access to certain areas and activities, and we want children to enjoy the freedom of exploring the farm without restrictions.

We cannot provide children’s toys in cottages where there is a dog, though there will be children’s books in bookcases, and board games/jigsaws in cupboards that you are welcome to use.

Our dog acceptance charter

• Dogs must not be left unattended at any time, including when owners are using the pool or children’s play areas, unless the dog is securely crated in the cottage.

• Overnight, dogs must be:

  • Crated in open-plan cottages, or

  • Confined to stair-gated kitchen areas, as appropriate.

• Dogs are not allowed:

  • In children’s play areas

  • In the pool area

  • In bedrooms

  • On furniture

• To protect our high-quality Ekornes leather sofas, guests must bring their own clean throws, which must be used at all times.

• Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times on the farm.

Please note: our animals are part of our everyday farm life. Free-range poultry and sheep, particularly during lambing season, can be easily frightened or harmed by dogs, even those that are calm and well trained and used to livestock. 

A Dog-Friendly Area to Explore

While the farm itself has necessary restrictions, the surrounding area is wonderfully dog friendly:

• Beautiful walks directly from the farm along quiet country lanes

• The Pickwick Inn – just 500 yards away, serving excellent food and very dog friendly

• Padstow, which is extremely welcoming to dogs, with many dog-friendly cafés, shops, and walks

• Many nearby dog-friendly beaches, perfect for coastal adventures

• Padstow Pooch Paddock (padstowpoochpaddock.co.uk), just two miles away – a secure space where dogs can run freely

We genuinely want to welcome dogs to Trevorrick where it is appropriate to do so, but the welfare of our animals, the quality of our cottages, and the comfort of all guests must always come first. Please contact us before booking — we’re always happy to advise.

Thank you for helping us keep Trevorrick peaceful, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
