Pet-friendly summary
Paw rating: 4.5/5 — strong, with a wider sample to draw on. With 687 Agoda reviews behind the 7.9/10 score and four confirmed pet-traveller reviews, the Livermead Cliff Hotel reads as a genuinely dog-friendly Torquay base.
The property is a 3-star seafront hotel on the Livermead stretch west of Torquay's harbour. The dog signal is consistent across confirmed pet-traveller reviews: front-of-house staff making a fuss of arriving dogs, an explicit "we're glad you brought them" rather than a tolerated-pet feel, and a roof terrace where four-legged guests are visibly part of the scene. The food and value-for-money also come up repeatedly, suggesting the dog policy isn't a niche extra bolted onto an unrelated property — it's part of the offer.
One piece of practical detail Agoda doesn't publish but reviewers mention: there is a dog charge, and at least one pet-traveller called it "high compared to some hotels". Confirm the current rate at booking — pricing per dog matters when you're already paying seafront room rates.
Caveats are mostly environmental rather than dog-specific. Rooms can run hot on warm weekends without air conditioning, and one stay coincided with a noisy wedding next door — neither problem is unique to pet guests, but neither is a great experience if you're trying to settle a dog. The decor is described as "a little dated" but in a comfortable way; the building has character.
Best suited to: pet owners wanting a 3-star seafront base in Torquay with confident dog-handling staff and access to the roof terrace. Less suited to: travellers needing air-conditioned rooms in summer, or anyone budget-tight enough that the (undisclosed) dog charge tips the value calculation. Worth checking the events calendar at booking to avoid a wedding-weekend overlap.
