The Blue Peter Inn

The Blue Peter Inn is a traditional harbour-side pub in Polperro, just outside Looe, where dogs are welcome inside for food and drinks. It's a proper local with a warm reputation among dog owners and treats are kept behind the bar for visiting four-legs.

Open daily from 12 noon, this is a solid stop after a coastal-path leg or harbour wander. The whole crew can settle in together at the table and there's no shuffling the dog outside while you eat. Food is served daily, with the kitchen closing Sunday evenings, so lunch is the Sunday option.

Polperro's tight streets and waterside setting make this a particularly useful find when the weather turns or energy flags. Dogs are genuinely welcomed, the food offering is real and the location puts you right in the heart of one of Cornwall's most-visited fishing villages.
