PAW CODE 🐾
Dogs are welcome inside across our picks, because wet dogs and cold humans deserve a seat.
Keep your dog close, calm and on their best behaviour. No licking plates, no nicking crisps with your eyes, and no tail-sweeping the gift displays like a happy bulldozer.
If it’s busy, give people space and keep leads short so staff can move around safely.
Outdoors, pick up after your dog, keep gates shut, and don’t let anyone “water” the nearest plant pot.
Basically: leave places nicer than you found them, and we all get invited back.

What’s the best low-faff dog walk in Looe with sea views?
Start with the harbour and Banjo Pier for easy coastal atmosphere, then add a Hannafore stroll for views without a full trek. Finish with an indoor café stop where dogs are welcome inside, ideally before the dog becomes a sand sculpture.
Is the Looe to Polperro walk doable with a dog as a relaxed out-and-back (without turning into an accidental endurance event)?
The coast path between Polperro and Looe is about 5.5 miles and it’s a proper up-and-down with steps in places. Dogs are welcome under close control (cliffs and livestock), so pack water and keep the lead ready for surprise “SHEEP!” moments.
Do we need to plan around tides or seasonal dog rules for beach walks here?
Coastal places often have seasonal dog rules and tide timing can change how much beach you actually get. Check the local signs on the day, then plan an indoor warm-up where dogs are welcome inside as your “reset point.”
Any safety tips for dogs around the harbour in Looe?
Keep your dog on a lead near the water, watch for fishing lines and dropped snacks, and assume gulls are running a professional heist operation. The harbour is brilliant, it just needs lead-manners switched on.
Where can I park in Looe for a day out with the dog?
For Looe, Millpool is usually the easiest answer for a day out with the dog. It is a long-stay council car park and one of the main visitor options, so it works well if you want to park once and get on with the harbour and town wandering.
