How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews 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 33 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 policy at a glance
- Pets allowed - extra charge applies. Confirm the amount with the operator at booking.

Pet-friendly summary
Stoop Apartment is a 4.5-star self-catering city-centre apartment in Exeter (Charlotte Mews / Pavilion Place), run as part of the Short Stays UK Ltd portfolio for short-stay city bookings. The structural pet-friendliness story is straightforward: a self-contained studio apartment with a kitchen, lounge, and bedroom in one open space, with the operator providing a dog bowl and treats on arrival for guests booking with a pet.
The pet policy is documented unambiguously in the property notes on Agoda. Pets are allowed and an extra charge applies (amount not posted). Confirm the fee in writing at booking - one of the two dog-stay reviews on file flagged the surcharge as an unwelcome surprise, which suggests the amount is not always clear at booking time on every channel. The same review confirmed the property does not accommodate hen, stag, or similar parties.
The location is the second strength reviewers picked out. An 8-10 minute walk from Exeter city centre, with the independent shops on Magdalen Road described as a useful bonus a few minutes away. For dog walks the apartment is well-placed for the city's parks, and the Exe Quay riverside walk is a short stroll across the city. Public transport is on the doorstep for further afield.
The structural strengths the reviews picked out: the apartment is well-equipped (a returning visitor specifically called out the fan as a touch missing from most UK self-catering in summer), the city-centre location is convenient, and the touch of dog bowl and treats waiting on arrival reads as a planned welcome rather than an afterthought. The honest caveats: the dog supplement comes as a surprise to some guests booking via aggregator channels, road noise is audible from the apartment, the shower floor was described as slippery (worth knowing for older dogs that might come in for a wash after a wet walk), and the kitchen is sized for two guests so additional visitors will find dishes and chairs in short supply.
Best suited to couples with one well-mannered small to medium dog who want a self-catering city-centre Exeter base with a planned pet welcome and walking-distance access to the centre and independents. Less suited to larger groups (kitchen sized for two), to dogs that are reactive to road noise from city streets, and to anyone booking last-minute who would not have time to clarify the pet supplement in writing.
