The Old Boat House

The Old Boat House in Looe is peak coastal cosy, and dogs are welcome inside. After the harbour loop and the inevitable "just one more beach bit", it's ideal for settling in somewhere warm while your dog switches into loaf mode under the table.

The vibe feels relaxed and classic, with that lived-in comfort that makes sandy pockets and windblown hair seem completely normal. Open February to October, 10am-4pm daily, serving sandwiches, paninis, cream teas, cakes and their own ice cream. Great for a laid-back meal or a calm drink when you want the day to slow down a notch.

It's the sort of place that matches the rhythm of a dog-friendly day: wander, sniff, pause, refuel, repeat. Expect an easy atmosphere and plenty of moments where your dog looks around like they personally own a small boat.
