How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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 10 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.1/10 - 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 policy at a glance
- Pet fee 25 pounds per pet per week

Pet-friendly summary
Ocean View Apartment looks out over the South Devon coast a short walk from the sand, in the stretch of countryside between Thurlestone and South Milton where the beaches, the coast path and the dog-friendly pubs all sit within easy reach of each other. Dog-specific feedback on the apartment is limited to a single guest account, so there is less to go on than at a busier property, but it is a positive one and the pet terms themselves are clearly set out.
One dog can stay, at 25 pounds per pet per week, which is at the modest end for South Devon in season and low enough that a week away barely changes the total. Dog owners who have stayed report a straightforward welcome, a thoroughly equipped kitchen and a walk down to the beach short enough to do twice a day without thinking about it. The sea views are the main event, and the apartment is the kind of place people come back to.
The one caution is housekeeping. There has been a report of dog hair and sand left on bedding on arrival, which points at inconsistent changeover cleaning rather than at the apartment itself, so it is worth a quick check of the beds before you unpack, particularly if anyone in the party has an allergy.
Ocean View Apartment earns a 4.4/5 paw rating. It suits a couple or small family with one dog who want a South Hams beach-walk base and a clearly priced, uncomplicated pet policy.
