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 Torquay / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 10.0/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 9 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 1 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 10.0/10 - 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
The Belmont is a 3-star bed and breakfast in Torquay (Devon, TQ2 5HY) that genuinely lives up to its dog-friendly billing. Host Abi gets called out across pet-traveller stays as warm, welcoming, and properly thoughtful around dog-owning guests - 'made us feel very welcome with our 3 little dogs', 'nothing was too much trouble', 'provided us with everything needed for our child and dog'. The whole B&B reads as 'geared up for dogs' rather than just permitting them.
The standout pet-amenity touches include:
- Dog towels provided for the inevitable post-walk wet-dog routine.
- Free umbrellas available for guests heading out for dog walks in Devon weather.
- Multi-dog welcome - one past pet-stay was a couple with 3 little dogs without issue.
- Baby-and-dog families accommodated - the host's setup works for guests travelling with both kids and dogs.
The pet policy is otherwise not heavily documented in the public Agoda listing (no published fee, weight limit or breed restrictions), so confirm at booking - particularly for multi-dog stays.
Breakfast is consistently praised - good choice, generous cooked option, fresh milk in the room fridge. Honest minor notes from the review pool: the TV could be bigger, the mattress could be more comfortable, and some areas could do with 'minor updates' - typical small-B&B caveats rather than property failures.
Location-wise, you're in central Torquay - walking distance to the harbour, town centre and seafront with its dog-welcoming cafes/pubs, Princess Pier area for evening strolls, and the South Devon Coast Path heading toward Babbacombe (with the iconic cliff railway - variable dog policy) or Hope's Nose. Paignton + Brixham are 10 minutes south for day trips.
Best suited to a couple, family, or dog-loving group travelling with one to three well-behaved dogs who'll appreciate a properly-thoughtful B&B base with the kind of dog-aware hosting touches (towels, umbrellas, multi-dog welcome) that elevate a stay. The 4.7 out of 5 paw rating across 9 consistently positive pet-traveller stays is one of the strongest signals in the FLG Torquay pool.
