Higher Greenway Annexe

Higher Greenway Annexe earns a paw rating of 4.5 out of 5 from a single confirmed pet-traveller review, so weigh the rating accordingly — it reflects one positive stay rather than a broad sample. The wider Agoda profile (8.9/10 across 110 stays) is consistently strong on the property's setting and self-catering format, both of which matter for travelling with a dog.

The annexe is a self-contained apartment-format stay rather than a traditional hotel, which is the structural feature pet owners tend to value most: no shared corridors, no breakfast-room logistics, and your own kitchen. The location is the second draw — set high in woodland overlooking the River Dart and the heritage steam railway below, with walks accessible directly from the front door. The one confirmed pet review describes it as comfortable for a family of four plus a dog, with a working kitchen including washing machine and oven, and Sky TV with Netflix for the inevitable rainy afternoons.

The trade-off is remoteness. The annexe sits a short drive from the nearest amenities — fine if you're happy with a quiet base and a car for outings to Dartmouth town, Greenway House (the National Trust Agatha Christie property next door), or the south Devon coast paths, less ideal if you'd prefer to walk to a pub. The single pet review also flagged that the cleaning kit is sparse on arrival — a brush, dustpan, and antibacterial spray would be welcome additions for travellers who'd rather not buy them locally.

Best suited to: families or couples bringing a calm, well-trained dog who want a private self-catering base for exploring the Dart valley and south Devon coast, and who're happy to drive for restaurants. Less ideal if you want a hotel with bar-and-restaurant service on tap, or if you're nervous about booking on the strength of a single pet-traveller review — wait for the next refresh once more reviews accumulate.
