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 18 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
The Stable is a small self-catering cottage on a rural-edge property near Plymouth, with the unusual touch of a pony and llamas in the surrounding grounds. Two confirmed dog-traveller reviews on Agoda give it a 4.4/5 paw rating - the consistent themes are warmth, a quiet hidden-away location, and the practical convenience of a short ferry hop into Plymouth.
The cottage itself is compact - one previous solo guest with a tiny dog called it big enough for them, which gives a sense of the scale. It works best for solo travellers or a single couple with one small or medium dog rather than larger parties.
The setting is the main draw for dog owners. The grounds are quiet, set back off the road, and the pony-and-llamas presence makes for an unusual rural feel even though Plymouth is just a 5-minute ferry ride away at three pounds each way. Dog walks straight from the door are realistic given the rural-edge location.
Where it suits
A good fit for solo travellers or couples with one smaller dog who want a quiet rural Devon base with city access via the ferry. The 4.4/5 paw rating reflects two consistent dog-traveller reviews - the structural fit (rural cottage, quiet grounds, ferry into the city) suits travellers prioritising calm over space. Less suited to larger parties or those wanting room to spread out.
