Watergate Bay Hotel

Two miles of dog beach all year, two dog dining rooms

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A beach hotel sitting right on the sand at Watergate Bay, with The Living Space as its all day social room, Zacry's as the evening restaurant and The Beach Hut down at beach level. The tone is barefoot and active rather than formal, and the beach opens up to two miles at low tide. Dog rooms are spread through the building rather than kept to one wing. It suits people who want the dog on the sand within a minute of the door.

Why it's in the collection

The beach runs two miles at low tide with no seasonal dog ban at all, and the South West Coast Path starts at the top of the slipway for the cliff walk towards Mawgan Porth. The beach cafes along the bay take dogs in their outdoor areas.

Best suited for

Two dogs per room, GBP 15 for the first and GBP 5 for the second, per night.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dog rooms sit across the whole hotel rather than one floor, though not every room takes dogs. Dogs eat with you in The Living Space and The Beach Hut and are welcome in reception, and they stay on a lead in public areas. Zacry's has an open kitchen so dogs don't go in there. The beach below the hotel takes dogs at any time of year.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
