How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 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 33 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.7/10 - 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
Stoop Apartment is a self-catering studio a few minutes' walk from the middle of Exeter, and the thing dog owners notice first is that the operator leaves out a bowl and a few treats for the dog on arrival. It is a small gesture from a short-stay operator rather than a hotel, and it lands well.
Pets are allowed and an extra charge applies. The amount is not posted on the booking listing, and one dog-owning guest listed the surcharge among their complaints, so it is worth confirming the figure in writing before you pay rather than discovering it at check-in.
The apartment is a single open room with the kitchen, living space and bed together, which suits one or two people and a settled dog better than it suits a group. The kitchen is well stocked, and there is a fan, which is more than most British self-catering manages in a warm summer. The independent shops and cafes on Magdalen Road are a couple of minutes away and the city centre is an eight to ten minute walk, so a dog can be walked into town rather than driven.
The drawbacks come with the address. There is no parking with the apartment and two large public car parks nearby take the overflow, which means a walk with bags and a dog at the end of a drive. Road noise from the main road carries inside, so a dog that reacts to traffic will hear plenty of it. Guests have also mentioned a slippery shower floor, a towel rail that would not heat, and a shortage of crockery and chairs if you plan to have anyone over.
At 4.1 out of 5 it is a practical, well-located city base for one dog rather than a treat, and the pet charge is the detail to pin down first.
