Lympstone Manor

Exmouth, Devon

Yes. Dogs can stay in 8 dog friendly rooms.

A Georgian manor overlooking the Exe estuary near Exmouth, where dogs stay in two suites and six Shepherd Huts and are welcome throughout the grounds.

Six Shepherd Huts, tucked into secluded woodland at the bottom of the vineyard, are among the places dogs can stay at Lympstone Manor, a Grade II listed Georgian manor house overlooking the Exe estuary near Exmouth. With 28 acres of garden, grounds and parkland running down to the foreshore, it is a dog friendly hotel whose grounds suit a morning stroll or an evening wander with your dog.

Two suites take dogs too, the huts are each named after a woodland animal, and dogs come by prior arrangement as availability is limited. Every dog friendly room has a dog bed, a towel, a torch and a dog bowl ready. The hotel asks that dogs stay out of the main house, but they are welcome on the public terraces and throughout the grounds. Ask about numbers of dogs and leaving one alone when you arrange your stay, as the hotel doesn't say.

The Pool House is the place to eat with your dog, a casual spot for lunch and dinner with views across the vineyard and the estuary, cooking locally landed fish and shellfish, grass-fed meats and just-picked vegetables. The wine list includes the first vintages from the estate's own vineyard. The Michelin starred dining room, with five AA Rosettes, isn't one of the places the hotel lists for dogs.

The outdoor pool is heated, and there's a championship tennis court and a croquet lawn. For the dog, the Lady's Walk, a circular route laid out in 1760, runs around the boundary of the grounds along the edge of the estuary, past a collection of sculptures, and links to the Exe Estuary Trail for longer outings. Wildpack's map puts the nearest dog friendly beach, Dawlish Warren, 2.3 miles from the manor.
