How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - 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 5 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 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
Nomi Homes - Okehampton Place is a four-bedroom house in Exeter sleeping up to seven, and for a group travelling with dogs the enclosed garden is the feature that matters. It opens straight off the kitchen, so the first hour after a long drive is a matter of opening the back door rather than finding a lead and somewhere to walk.
Pets have to be agreed with the owners before arrival rather than added at checkout, so raise it when you enquire. A pet fee of £50 applies, covering general wear and extra cleaning; it does not cover damage caused by a pet. The listing does not say whether that charge is per stay or per pet, so settle that in the same conversation. The hosts tend to get in touch before a stay, which makes that easy.
Guests who have stayed with their dogs describe the house as warm, comfortable and full of character, with a good kitchen and plenty of bedroom space - the right combination for a wet Devon week with a couple of dogs in tow. Having the whole house to yourselves also removes the shared-corridor problem entirely: there is no reception to walk past and no neighbouring room to worry about at six in the morning.
Okehampton Place sits in St Thomas, just across the Exe from the city centre, and the street is quiet at night despite being an easy walk into town. Local shops and restaurants are close, Exeter Quay, the canal towpath and the Riverside Valley Park are all within a short walk, and Dartmoor is around half an hour by car. That mix suits a long weekend where the dogs need a proper run one day and a pub lunch the next.
The caveats are practical rather than dog-related. Parking is tight for the address, so if you are arriving in more than one car, or in something large, work out where it is going before you set off. One ground-floor bed has also been reported as less comfortable than the rest.
Best suited to families or groups bringing one or more dogs who want a secure garden and a whole house in Exeter, and who are happy to agree the pet arrangements with the owners in advance. It earns a 4.4/5 paw rating.
