Independent pet-friendly review by Four Legged Guests · updated June 2026 · paw rating built from 1 verified guest review mentioning pets
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 Weymouth / the South Coast and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 8.7/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- 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 5 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.7/10 - 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
Old Harbour Townhouse is a 3.5-star self-catering whole-house at 8 Newberry Road in central Weymouth (DT4 8LW), on the same residential road as Fenders (which we covered in a previous publish). It is a few doors down from Fenders and gets a similar warm verdict from the confirmed pet-traveller review: "excellent value for family and dog... very dog friendly."
The walking-distance setup is the main pet-friendly draw. Newberry Road sits a short walk from Weymouth's old harbour, the seafront, and the wider town centre. The reviewer specifically lists "close to town and harbour and beach" as a positive. For dog owners, that puts the dog-tolerant sections of Weymouth Beach (open year-round outside the May to September central-beach ban), the harbour walks, and the South West Coast Path all within an easy on-lead range.
The property itself is described as spacious, clean, warm, and comfortable - a straightforward family-with-dog self-catering let. No specific pet amenities are called out, and the pet policy on Agoda discloses nothing: no fee, no weight limit, no breed restrictions, no service-animal language.
The reviewer's full "Cons: Nothing" is a clean signal for the format the property does well. A spacious whole-house with a dog-friendly central-Weymouth location, no extra pet fee on Agoda, and a self-catering setup that lets you cook for the family rather than navigate dog-friendly restaurants for every meal.
Data caveat: this opinion rests on a single confirmed pet-traveller review at 10/10. The signal is strongly positive but the review pool is small (5 Agoda reviews total). Worth confirming directly with the host on dog numbers and size before booking, particularly if travelling with more than one dog.
Best suited to: families with one or more dogs wanting a central Weymouth self-catering whole-house close to the harbour and beach, who value walking access over a luxury hotel experience; less suited to those wanting explicit pre-booking pet-policy disclosure or a property with dedicated pet amenities.
