1 / 8The Palace Hotel
Paignton, Torbay
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A seafront hotel on Paignton's Esplanade with an indoor pool and spa, where dogs are allowed in the bar, on the terrace and in the garden.
Opposite the seafront on Paignton's Esplanade, a few minutes' walk from the town centre on the English Riviera, The Palace Hotel stands in lovely grounds, and many of its rooms look out across the bay. This dog friendly hotel would rather you didn't leave your furry friends at home, and asks you to bring them along to enjoy the Riviera with you.
Well behaved dogs stay in a limited number of bedrooms, up to two in a room, so mention your dog when you book and the hotel will allocate you a dog friendly room. Outside the bedroom, dogs are allowed in the public areas, among them reception, the bar, the terrace and the garden, which leaves plenty of the hotel to share.
Dinner plans need a quick check first: the hotel's pages don't mention if dogs can sit with you in the Paris Restaurant or the Sun Lounge, so ask when you book, though the bar is open to them. The Paris Restaurant looks across the bay and serves a three-course Table d'Hôte menu each evening, cooked from fresh local Devon ingredients, while the Sun Lounge does lunch, Sunday roasts and Devonshire cream teas with views of the coast.
The Genesis Health Suite holds an indoor heated pool, a warm and bubbly spa pool, a wooden sauna that seats up to ten and a gentler steam room, along with a fully equipped gym and the Temple Beauty Rooms. When your dog wants the beach, head for Broadsands Beach, 1.1 miles away and the nearest Wildpack marks dog friendly.
