- You're basing yourself in Exmouth / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing

- Pet fee: £0 - the amount is published but not what it covers, so confirm the terms when you book
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 16 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.3/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Pets stay free.
Pet-friendly summary
This is a privately let three-bedroom caravan on the big holiday park at Sandy Bay, just outside Exmouth, sleeping up to eight with a sea view and parking beside the pitch. What lifts it above the usual park caravan for dog owners is how thoroughly the owner has thought about the animals: bowls, a spare lead, training pads and cleaning materials are left in the van, and pets stay free.
The space works for groups travelling with more than one dog. Guests have brought parties of six adults and two dogs without the layout feeling stretched, helped by a generous lounge and a second toilet. The kitchen is well equipped and linen and towels are provided. The twin bedrooms are tight for larger adults and storage in them is limited, so pack light.
The position on the park is the other draw. It sits within reach of both the beach and the main hub, and dog owners make good use of the beach cafe nearby, which is happy to seat people with dogs. The local shops and cafes take the same view, so days out do not have to be planned around who will wait outside with the dog.
One cost to factor in that has nothing to do with the dog: booking the caravan privately does not include the park's club passes, and families wanting the entertainment and activity programme have found themselves paying for those separately on arrival. Check what you need before you travel.
It earns a 4.4 out of 5 paw rating and suits a family or a group of friends bringing one or two dogs who want space, a beach within easy reach and no pet surcharge, and who are content with a busy holiday park rather than somewhere quiet.
