Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Plymouth / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 9.2/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda - 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 96 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 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-friendly summary
Edgcumbe Guest House is one of those small Plymouth B&Bs where the dog-friendly welcome is genuinely built in rather than an afterthought. Dogs are welcomed in every room at a flat £10 per dog per night - no breed restrictions, no carve-outs to particular rooms, no surcharges for larger dogs. The only condition the owners ask is that dogs are not left unattended in bedrooms, which is standard for a small guesthouse where neighbouring rooms are close.
The position on Pier Street puts the property a stone's throw from Plymouth Hoe and the waterfront, with the South West Coast Path quite literally starting seconds from the front door. That makes Edgcumbe one of the most walking-friendly bases in Plymouth for dog owners - you can step out the door with the lead and be on coastal trail within a minute, which is rare even among the city's dedicated dog-friendly hotels.
The Victorian building itself has been thoughtfully refurbished while keeping its period features, with stylish rooms, freshly cooked breakfasts and on-street parking that's plentiful in this part of the West Hoe area. Plymouth Ferry Port is five minutes away by car for travellers connecting to Roscoff or Santander, and the city centre + Barbican are within 20 minutes' walk for evenings out.
Where it suits
An excellent fit for couples or solo travellers with one to three dogs of any size or breed, looking for a coastal-walking base in Plymouth. The flat £10/dog/night structure makes it cost-predictable for multi-dog households, and the unrestricted welcome (every room, no breed gating) means you don't need to negotiate at booking. Best for guests who plan to spend daytime hours on the coast path or at Plymouth Hoe with their dog rather than sightseeing in dog-restricted attractions.
