We know how important it is to find that special place to stay when you’re planning a holiday or short break and taking your four-legged friend along with you and the rest of the family is an important factor. Here on the English Riviera we pride ourselves on being a dog friendly resort.
The 22-miles of stunning scenic coastline which forms part of the South West Coast Path and the beautiful, vast woodland areas are perfect for ‘walkies’ and a chance to take in the fresh air and explore the area on foot. We also have a number of award-winning dog friendly beaches, top visitor attractions and restaurants, cafes and pubs waiting for you.
Many hotels on the English Riviera provide all year-round pet-friendly accommodation and offer a warm welcome to you and your faithful companion. Here are 5 dog friendly hotels in Torquay to take a closer look at:
