What we've verified
You're right on Praia do Guincho with the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park dunes and trails at the door, plus the Cresmina boardwalk and Cabo da Roca headland paths a short drive away, all superb off-season dog walking.
Up to two dogs to 15 kg, confirm the fee on booking.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Two dogs up to 15 kg. The hotel sits directly above Praia do Guincho. Dogs are banned on Cascais supervised beaches, including Guincho, between 1 May and 30 September, and permitted off-season between 1 October and 30 April, on a lead and with owners clearing up after them.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
