Pet-friendly summary
Paw rating: 5.0/5 from six confirmed pet-related reviews. The Charterhouse consistently lands at the top of our pet-friendly scoring for small UK B&Bs — owners Lisa and Christophe are repeatedly described by dog-travelling guests as exceptionally accommodating, and the pet-friendly rooms have been built around the practicalities of arriving with a dog rather than as an afterthought.
The two designated pet-friendly rooms — the Small Double Room with Patio and the Large Family Room with Garden View — both open directly onto the garden, giving dogs an immediate outdoor route without having to navigate the main house. Guests with pets mention this layout repeatedly as the feature that makes the stay relaxing rather than logistically awkward, and several report being offered breakfast in their room when they preferred not to leave their dog. The property sits on a quiet residential street in the Cockington area of Torquay, about two minutes from a dog-friendly beach and three minutes from Cockington Country Park — both within easy walking distance for a morning or evening walk straight from the door.
Best suited to: travellers with one or two well-behaved small or medium dogs who appreciate a small, owner-run B&B with attentive hosts and direct garden access. Less suitable for cats (not accepted), high-energy working breeds needing extended off-lead space, or anyone unable to commit to keeping pets out of the main house and confined to the designated rooms.
