Trentishoe Coombe (Exmoor near Parracombe)

Trentishoe Coombe is a 4-star whole-house rental in Trentishoe near Parracombe, on the edge of Exmoor National Park in North Devon. The property is sized for group bookings (the single dog-mention review describes a multi-generation group of eight plus dogs comfortably accommodated), with a courtyard garden featuring a jacuzzi and a separate side garden for quieter moments. For a group walking holiday combining Exmoor moorland and the North Devon coast, the location and house format both serve a dog-stay well.

Agoda does not publish a written pet policy for this property - no posted fee, no listed amenities, no weight or breed restrictions. Confirm details directly with the operator (the property is rented via Sykes Cottages alongside Agoda) when you book. The single dog-stay review on file is a thin pool of dog-specific feedback compared with longer-running pet-friendly properties; weight your decision accordingly. The aggregate Agoda score of 9.5 sits across a small overall sample.

The structural strengths the one dog-stay group picked out are the scale and quality of the house (spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped for a group of eight across three generations), the two outdoor spaces (the social courtyard with jacuzzi, the calmer side garden), and the rural Exmoor-edge setting. For dogs of any size with off-lead recall, the surrounding moorland and country lanes are first-rate walking; the house format means the dog has a base inside the property rather than a single shared space with strangers.

The honest caveats from the same review are worth understanding. The reviewer chose the property for its proximity to a popular local pub which became inaccessible during their stay due to a 2025 road closure - the property didn't communicate this ahead of arrival, and on-foot or by-car access required a 30-minute detour. Check the road status when booking; if pub access is part of your plan, confirm it works for your visit dates. The reviewer also flagged a lack of welcome folder explaining the dishwasher and jacuzzi, missing kitchen mat, and slow response from the host on questions about the BBQ and grocery delivery options.

The location otherwise is the strength. Trentishoe sits inside the Exmoor National Park boundary with the South West Coast Path within walking and driving distance, and Parracombe village is on the doorstep. Lynton, Lynmouth, and the wider Exmoor coast are short drives away.

Best suited to family groups and friend groups of up to eight with one or more dogs of any size who want a rural Exmoor-edge whole-house base with two gardens, jacuzzi, and on-foot access to moorland walks. Less suited to couples and solo travellers who would not use the scale of the property, and to anyone planning their stay around the local pub without confirming road access ahead of arrival.
