P Bad’s other owner here! I’ve stayed at the Scarlet twice — once avec chien and once sans. Both stays have been great — the hotel is super comfy and the location is breathtaking. Second trip better though because of Posetta’s presence.

If you want to read lots of unbiased reviews (i.e by people who actually paid to stay there…) have a look at Trip Advisor. It is not a cheap option but most guests thought it was worth it!

Wherever you decide to stay, hope you and your pooch have a wonderful time — P Bad and I think Cornwall is fabulous!

I’ve stayed there twice now. The first time was lovely, but they didn’t take dogs & had a frankly bizarre no wifi policy. The second we had a really great time: both dogs and wifi welcome!

If you are referring to the recent bad review by another lifestyle blogger, I wld take it with a giant pinch of salt, as I spoke to the hotel’s representatives and heard the other side of the story. Which even with a balanced view made this long term hotel reviewer’s hair standup on end.

It is NOT a cheap hotel, by any stretch of the imagination, but it has comfortables beds, wonderful showers, lovely toiletries, a glorious spa, two really great swimming pools (I liked the outdoor unheated reedbed pool one so much I blogged about it separately), and I think the restaurant there is superb: great local ingredients cooked with skill and interest. I had two revolting meals in Cornwall at very well reviewed places on my last trip and they really threw into contrast how well they do things at The Scarlet.

I’m wracking my brains to think of any major shortcomings — the only one is that the food & beverage service can be a bit…glacially slow, but that’s endemic throughout Cornwall…in every other respect, I think this is a hotel that stands up to international standards.

They have always been welcoming to Posetta Baddog — they have lots of outdoor terraces and I don;t see why you couldn’t eat outside with your canine in the summer — altho I’d check in advance. I don;t think they welcome HUGE dogs, or want them all over the sofas, but fair enough, as the beach is just below and who wants sandy dogs frolicking on the soft furnishings?!

I know The The Lugger and The St Moritz aren;t dog friendly throughout the public spaces. The Bedruthan up the road is a family hotel, so no use if you don’t want LOTS of children about.

Hope this helps LLGxx

Unsure whether to take the risk, as it isn’t the cheapest option!

How did you acquire your name? I can understand the Baddog part, but what about the first name?
