Independent pet-friendly review by Four Legged Guests · updated August 2026 · paw rating built from 9 verified guest reviews mentioning pets
Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Torquay / the South West and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 10.0/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Pet fee: £0 (No size limit, dogs of any size are welcome) - the amount is published but not what it covers, so confirm the terms when you book
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 9 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 1 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 10.0/10 - 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
The Belmont is the kind of small Torquay bed and breakfast that has clearly decided dogs are part of the business rather than an exception to it. There is a canine corner in reception stocked with treats, toys and a water barrel, towels for muddy paws are kept by the front door, and dogs are welcome to sit with you for breakfast in the dining room, which is rarer than it sounds in a bed and breakfast of this size.
There is no charge for bringing a dog, and no size limit either: dogs of any size are welcome, and past stays have included a party with three small dogs. Dog beds and bowls can be provided in the room. The one firm rule is that dogs must not be left unattended in the bedrooms, so this is a base for people who plan to take the dog with them rather than leave it behind for a day out.
The welcome from the hosts is what guests with dogs come back for. Across pet-owning stays the picture is consistent: warm, unhurried, nothing too much trouble, whether that is an early check-in, luggage stored on a departure day, or a sausage from the breakfast counter finding its way to the dog. Families travelling with a baby and a dog together report being equally well looked after.
Belgrave Road puts you within walking distance of the Torquay seafront, the harbour and the restaurants along it, so the daily walk doubles as the way you get around. The trade-offs are the ordinary ones for a Victorian guesthouse: there is no car park, and street parking nearby can mean a short walk back with the bags. The building is old, so upper rooms can get warm in summer, though fans are provided, and the odd fixture is due an update.
Best suited to dog owners who want a properly hosted bed and breakfast within walking distance of the Torquay seafront, with no pet fee and no size limit to worry about. It earns a 4.6 out of 5 paw rating.
