- Wider context: The property has 36 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.5/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 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.

Every guest travelling with a dog comes away impressed, praising a peaceful rural setting, lovely views and a real sense of getting away from it all while still being close to places worth visiting.
For dogs it ticks the right boxes. Guests specifically mention having access to a garden for the dog, and the annex itself is described as high-spec, warm, full of natural light and exceptionally clean, with thoughtful extra touches that make it feel cared for. The quiet location means a relaxed stay for a dog that likes calm, and the surrounding South Hams countryside and coast offer plenty of walks.
The hosts round it off, described warmly as kind and welcoming, the sort who add the small details that turn a good stay into one guests want to repeat. It reads as a genuine hidden gem for a couple and their dog, comfortable enough to ride out even a stormy spell in cosy comfort.
