Soar Mill Cove Hotel

Soar, Devon

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.

A hotel in a valley just outside Salcombe, moments from a secluded sandy beach, where dogs can join you at dog friendly dining tables in the evening.

Soar Mill Cove Hotel sits in a valley just outside Salcombe, with miles of National Trust coastline all around and a secluded sandy beach mere moments away. Holidays here are meant for the whole family, four-legged members included, and this dog friendly hotel greets every pooch warmly.

Up to two well-behaved dogs can come with you, and you'll be asked to sign the hotel's Pooch Protocol Form when you stay. Only some rooms are offered for dog friendly stays, so call before you book to check one is free. If you want a few hours out without your pup, the Cove's pages don't mention whether dogs may stay behind in the bedroom, so ask first.

Evenings with your dog are planned ahead here. The hotel keeps a limited number of dog friendly dining tables, popular and quick to book up, so reserve one in advance if you can; the hotel offers any unreserved tables first come, first served. The pooch protocol asks for paws on the floor at all times and dogs kept to the doggy-designated areas, and noisy pups may be asked to relocate so everyone can dine in peace. The kitchen pairs fine dining with a family friendly feel, and light lunches and afternoon teas are served daily.

The Discovery Spa has a heated pool, massage and a sauna, and binoculars are on hand in the rooms to spot dolphins in the bay. Reception has maps and local walking guides for you and the dog, and Soar Mill Cove itself is 0.3 miles away on Wildpack's map of dog friendly beaches.
