1 / 8Thurlestone Hotel
Thurlestone, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A hotel and spa on the South Devon coast at Thurlestone, with dogs welcome on the Terrace, in the gardens and, if well behaved, at The Village Inn.
Sea views come with most of the rooms at Thurlestone Hotel, on the South Devon coast, a place where, in the hotel's own telling, things move a little slower. This dog friendly hotel has dogs staying in some bedrooms and welcome in public spaces including reception, the gardens, the Terrace and the hotel's pub, The Village Inn, a few moments from the rooms.
Choose one of the rooms that takes dogs when you book; one is described as bright, pet-friendly and peaceful, with views that bring the coast inside. All the rooms and suites share the same easy comfort, with soft sheets and thoughtful touches, looked after by a team who have welcomed generations of returning guests. The hotel's pages don't say how many dogs a booking can include, or if yours can stay behind alone while you eat, so check both before you travel.
Well behaved dogs are always welcome at The Village Inn, inside by the fire or out at the tables, where weathered beams frame hearty dishes, pub classics and real ales served just right. The hotel doesn't say if dogs can come into its restaurant or to breakfast, so raise that too. The 2AA Rosette restaurant serves refined dining with a coastal view, and afternoon tea comes with homemade bakes and sea views.
The Voyage Spa pairs a sauna, steam room and Roman-inspired laconium with a warm, jetted hydrotherapy pool, and there are indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and tennis courts besides. Then take the dog down to Thurlestone Sands, 0.6 miles from the hotel and the closest of the dog friendly beaches on Wildpack's map.
