How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 5 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 57 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.8/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 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
Muntham Luxury Holiday Apartments is a genuinely easy place to bring a dog, and it earns a 4.7/5 paw rating for it. The property sits on a quiet residential road in the Wellswood area of Torquay, and guests stay in self-contained apartments rather than hotel rooms. That means your own front door, no shared corridors to walk a dog down, no dining room to negotiate, a full kitchen and secure parking on site.
The welcome for dogs is what pet-travelling guests come back to most. The owners live at the property and tend to meet arrivals in person, and visitors with dogs describe finding a ready-made pack waiting for them: treats, a bowl, a towel, blankets or throws for the furniture and poo bags. There is a resident dog on site too, so nervous or vocal arrivals are treated as normal rather than a problem. The apartments are finished to a high standard, but the tone around dogs is relaxed rather than precious.
For walks, the shops, pub and deli at Wellswood are around three minutes on foot, the nearest beach is a ten to fifteen minute walk, and the coastal path towards Hopes Nose makes a solid morning circuit without needing the car. Central Torquay is two to three minutes' drive. There are gardens at the property to sit out in, though they read as a pleasant extra rather than a headline feature.
The restrictions matter here, so read them before booking. The property takes small breeds only, one adult dog per booking and no puppies, dogs cannot be left unattended in the apartment, and a pet fee applies on top of the room rate. That makes it a strong fit for a couple travelling with one well-mannered small dog who want a high-quality self-catering base on the English Riviera, and a poor fit for larger dogs, multiple dogs, or anyone planning long days out without the dog along.
