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 21 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.0/10 - 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
Fox Tor Apartment is a self-catering rental in a quiet riverside setting near Plymouth, with peacocks on site, a private stretch of river and fire-pit and barbecue facilities outside. The one confirmed dog-traveller review on Agoda was positive on all the points that matter for a dog-owning stay - peace, a welcoming dog policy, and crucially wood floors that are easy to clean after muddy paws.
The setting is the standout for dog owners. The property's peace and quiet, the private river access and the unusual touch of peacocks wandering the grounds make it a different kind of country-edge stay than a standard town-centre apartment. Fire pits and a barbecue are available for use - a benefit for warm-evening stays.
A few small condition issues from the previous review: some mould on the bathroom velux, a slightly grubby bathroom fan, no chest of drawers in the double room and a squeaky bed. None are dog-specific or deal-breaking - more in the character-of-an-older-property category.
Where it suits
A good fit for couples or solo travellers with one dog who want a quiet country-edge Plymouth base with a private river setting rather than a town centre. The 4.2/5 paw rating reflects a single positive dog-traveller review with explicit dog-positive themes (wood floors, dog welcomed). Best for short stays at this scale of property and for travellers happy to overlook minor condition niggles in exchange for the setting.
