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 Brixham / 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

- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
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 10 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
Lodge 66 at Riviera Bay Coastal Retreat is a self-catering lodge on a holiday park near Brixham. The one confirmed dog-traveller review on Agoda was positive on location, but flagged a seasonal constraint that any dog owner should know about before booking.
The specific issue from the previous guest: the lodge gets too hot in summer to be comfortable with a dog. Without air conditioning, the previous party could only use the property out of season - which is honest editorial information that translates directly into when to book. For autumn, winter and early spring stays the issue does not apply, and many UK dog owners actively prefer those seasons anyway (no beach restrictions, cooler walking weather).
The location is a coastal-retreat holiday-park setting near Brixham, with easy access to the South Devon coast for walks. The same review described the location as the standout positive of the stay.
Where it suits
A reasonable choice for couples or small families with one dog booking an out-of-season Brixham coastal break (October to April typically). The 4.2/5 paw rating reflects a positive review with a clear seasonal caveat - the property works for dogs in cooler months but the previous guest specifically said it was unusable in summer with a pet. Not the right choice for July-August dog stays.
