Welcome …

Welcome to our new autumn issue. We’re delighted to announce that we’re expanding Dog Friendly Cornwall so that we produce these quarterly magazines exclusively for our subscribers, but we’ll also be producing two Dog Friendly Cornwall guides each year which we’ll be sending to you as part of your subscription with us. We’ve really valued your support in our early years and we’d like to say thank you.

In this issue we have been out and about discovering some really cosy romantic retreats which are dog friendly, some of which are right by dog friendly beaches.

We have also been out on the trail checking out some beautiful creekside walks for you -- the tranquil Cornish estuaries are so beautiful at this time of year.

For those who would like some inspiration ahead of the festive season, we have some ideas for lovely gifts for fellow dog lovers and we’ve also rounded up some places where you can enjoy dog friendly all day breakfasts. Always a handy list to have, we think.

There is also the opportunity to win a rather fabulous prize, a stay in a beautiful Scandinavian style lodge at Sandy Acres near Hayle, which has its own dog friendly beach on St Ives Bay, one of the softest, sandiest, most gorgeous beaches in Cornwall.

Oh, and did we mention there’s a hot tub there?

And don’t forget our website.You can use your phone location, or enter a place name or postcode to find the best dog friendly places nearby when you are in Cornwall. www.dogfriendlycornwall.co.uk
