How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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 10 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.9/10 - 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
Torbay Rise is a sizeable villa on Old Mill Road in Torquay, set up as a family or multi-generational base with practical features that work well when more than one dog is in the party. The standout for pet owners is the layout: hardwood or hard-floor hallways throughout the ground floor mean dogs can move around without the constant low-grade anxiety of dirty paws on carpet, and the property has the kind of space that lets multiple guests and multiple dogs spread out comfortably rather than tripping over each other.
Agoda hasn't published a per-night pet fee, weight cap, or breed restrictions for this property, so confirm those directly with the host when booking. The villa is described by recent guests as well-supplied with everything a multi-night family stay needs, with the format suiting larger celebrations and family gatherings.
Worth a heads-up: the lounge has a cream carpet, which recent guests describe as nerve-wracking when travelling with kids and dogs. Practically that means you'll want to be vigilant about wet dog paws coming in from coastal walks, and keep an eye on the dog around food and drink. Plan for a towel by the door and the usual after-walk routine.
Location-wise, the villa sits within driving range of the Torquay seafront, Babbacombe, Anstey's Cove and the wider Torbay coast for proper coastal walks. The town centre and harbour are short drives away. Torquay's seafront has the usual seasonal dog-zoning - check the council's current map for the months you're travelling - but the surrounding coves and the South West Coast Path offer plenty of dog-friendly walking year-round.
Best suited to families or groups travelling with one or more dogs who want a sizeable villa base in Torquay with hard-floor practicality on the ground floor, and who'll mind the cream lounge carpet on rainy days.
