Cornwall is a dog walker’s paradise. Rolling hills, jagged coastlines and white sandy beaches make it one of the most scenic places in the UK to embark on a mini adventure, year round. When you’ve tired out your pooch after a long coastal walk, or a gallop along the beach or an open field, relax in one of these cosy dog friendly hide-outs for some fantastic food that won’t cost you the earth.
