The Lifeboat Inn is a traditional pub in St Ives that warmly welcomes dogs inside, making it an ideal stop for dog owners keen to escape the elements after a day at the beach. Overlooking the harbour, this lively venue offers a cosy ambience with an open fire and comfy seating, ensuring both humans and dogs can unwind in comfort.

For those looking to relax, the pub provides a great spot to sip a pint while dogs settle by their feet, ideally positioned to keep an eye on the bustling pub scene. A bowl of Proper Dog 'beer' adds a nice touch for pups who appreciate a bit of pampering on their outing.

It's a practical choice for a refreshing break when paws and people need somewhere warm and welcoming after exploring the coast.
