Park Facilities at Pentire Coastal Holiday Park

Pentire's strongest facilities are built around its countryside setting, particularly for guests bringing dogs. The park is also a useful choice for families who want plenty of outdoor space while staying close to North Cornwall's beaches.

Dog Walking Fields and Exercise Areas

The dog facilities are one of Pentire's standout features. The park covers around 44 acres, with more than 20 acres given over to private dog walking fields.

This gives owners space to exercise their dogs without having to leave the park every time they need a walk. Dedicated dog walking areas and lead-free exercise space make the facilities useful for everything from a quick morning run to a longer walk around the grounds.

The amount of space available is particularly useful for energetic dogs and for visitors staying for a full week rather than a short break.

Dog Wash Station

A dedicated dog wash station provides somewhere to clean off sand, mud and salt after walks or beach trips.

This is especially useful around Bude, where a day at Sandymouth, Summerleaze or on the coast path can easily leave dogs wet or muddy. Guests can clean them before returning to their accommodation rather than trying to manage it inside a caravan or lodge.

Together with the walking fields, this makes Pentire particularly well set up for dog-friendly holidays rather than simply being a park where dogs are accepted.

Walking Trails and Open Space

Walking trails run through the park and surrounding countryside, giving visitors opportunities for shorter walks without driving anywhere.

The open layout also adds to the relaxed feel of the park, while the nearby North Cornwall coast provides much longer walking routes for guests wanting to explore the South West Coast Path and local beaches.

Adventure Play Area

Families have an outdoor adventure play area with climbing and play equipment. Combined with the open space around the park, it gives younger children somewhere to play between trips to Bude and the beach.
