How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 10 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 400 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
The Manor Inn is a village pub with rooms in Galmpton, between Brixham and Paignton on the English Riviera, and it is an easy, sociable place to stay with a dog. Dogs are welcome throughout - in the bar, the restaurant and every bedroom - and plenty of guests come back for a second or third stay with theirs.
The dog charge is around £10 per dog per night, and it applies even if your dog sleeps in a crate. Guests with two dogs have found the fee fair for the area. The detail most owners mention is the sausage served to dogs at breakfast, and the staff are described again and again as friendly and helpful, to dogs and people alike. Ring the inn on 01803 661101 to confirm the current rate.
Rooms are generally spacious and quiet despite sitting above a pub, some recently decorated, and the superior rooms are close to the car park, which helps when unloading a dog and bags. Food in the bar and restaurant gets strong praise, breakfast especially, and there is outdoor seating on a patio.
The walking is good. Broadsands Beach, Elberry Cove and Churston Woods are each about a mile away, the South West Coast Path is close by, and the National Trust's Greenway and Coleton Fishacre are a short drive.
The building shows its age in places: guests mention stained seating and worn carpets in the pub, a leaking shower, and a couple of steps down into some bathrooms, which matters if anyone in your party is unsteady on their feet.
For couples or friends with one or two dogs who want a proper pub with good food and an easy walk to the coast, the Manor Inn earns a 4.6/5 paw rating.
