Bring your dog if

- You're basing yourself in Paignton / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 8.9/10 overall
Worth knowing

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 81 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.9/10 - 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 policy at a glance

Pet-friendly summary
High Gables Apartment 2 is a five-star apartment rental in Paignton with strong location credentials for dog owners but some practical detail to think through before booking. The one confirmed dog-traveller review on Agoda highlighted the spacious layout, a bonus second bathroom, a hot towel rail and - the standout for dog owners - excellent walking access to a park directly from the property.
The same review also flagged practical issues that are worth knowing in advance: towels and tea towels were not provided so guests had to bring their own, the bath drainage was problematic, and the apartment door lock sits very close to the frame which made opening the door difficult. None of these are dog-specific, but they do affect the overall stay experience.
Paignton itself is a strong dog-friendly seaside base with multiple beaches, the South West Coast Path nearby, and easy rail and bus links to Torquay and Brixham along the coast.
Where it suits
A reasonable choice for couples or small families with one dog who want a spacious Paignton base with immediate park access for daily walks. The 3.8/5 paw rating reflects an honest mixed picture - the dog-location strengths balanced against the practical apartment issues flagged by previous guests. Best for travellers willing to bring their own towels and treat any small fixture issues as background noise.
