Pet-friendly summary
Ayrmer Path sits at the head of the valley that runs down to Ayrmer Cove, on the edge of Ringmore in the South Hams, and it is the kind of whole-house let dogs get the most out of. The garden is large, the drive is private and gated, and footpaths leave from the property itself rather than needing a drive to reach.
The property takes one dog per booking. Some guest accounts describe arriving with more than one, so if you are hoping to bring a second it is worth agreeing that with the owner in advance rather than assuming the limit is flexible.
People come back to this one, several of them repeatedly and over more than a decade, and the consistent note is that little changes and little needs to. The house is well maintained and comfortable, with sea views from most windows and a garden guests describe being reluctant to leave. Dog owners have used it as a base for walking down to the cove and along the coast path, and the 4.6/5 paw rating reflects two confirmed stays with dogs, both of them warm.
The walk to Ayrmer Cove takes a few minutes downhill and rather longer coming back up, which is worth knowing if your dog is elderly or you are carrying beach kit. The village pub is a short walk and does good food, but it fills up, so book dinner well ahead in summer. Being on the edge of the village, there is nothing built nearby to interrupt the view.
One honest gap: the house is dog-friendly but not dog-equipped. Guests arriving with a dog have noted that bowls, treats or a blanket would have been a welcome touch, so pack your own. The other niggles are minor - limited kitchen cupboard space, and lounge seating that has softened with age.
Best suited to a family or couple with one dog who want coastal walking straight from the door and a quiet, view-heavy house to come back to.
