How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 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 60 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 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
Tamar View sits on Wolseley Road in Plymouth, right beside the Tamar bridges, with three floors of living space and big windows looking out over the estuary. It is a large, comfortable house that takes dogs in numbers, and it earns a 4.7 out of 5 paw rating.
Dogs are accepted by prior arrangement and a supplement may apply, so mention them at the time of booking.
The stand-out feature for dog owners is simply the room. Parties here have included five adults, two children and three dogs without the house feeling crowded, and the middle-floor open-plan kitchen and living room is what guests come back to in their reviews. The owner also gets consistent praise for answering quickly when something needs sorting.
The location does something unusual for a dog-owning stay: it lets you leave the car alone. A short walk brings you to a bus stop with a service into Plymouth, and a ferry across the Tamar runs from just over the bridge, so a day in the city or over into Cornwall does not mean hunting for a parking space with a dog in the back. Parking at the house itself is easy and free, and there is a friendly pub down the road.
The one thing to know before booking is the railway. The house sits right beside the rail bridge over the Tamar, and guests who sleep lightly advise against the front bedrooms. A dog that reacts to sudden noise may notice the trains too. The mattress in the top bedroom has also been described as firm.
Best suited to a larger family, or two families travelling together with one or more dogs, who want a spacious Plymouth base with a view and easy access to both the city and Cornwall.
