Pet-friendly summary
The Annexe at Lurley Manor is a quirky, characterful bolthole in the Devon countryside near Tiverton, and it is about as dog-friendly a place as you could hope to find. Set in a peaceful rural spot with woods and open country on the doorstep and easy access to the moors, it is a whole self-contained annexe to yourselves, warm and cosy, with the kind of setting that makes a dog's holiday as good as yours.
Owners travelling with dogs are effusive about it. Reviewers describe it as welcoming and dog-friendly, single out the lovely woods and land around for walks - one guest happily naming their dog, Maisie, enjoying the grounds - and call the area simply perfect for dogs. Thoughtful touches like a goodies tray get a mention, and the whole place earns near-perfect scores. The hosts are repeatedly praised as welcoming and helpful.
Usefully, the annexe has a clear pet policy: up to three dogs are allowed per booking, which makes it a genuine option for multi-dog households, rare among self-catering places. One small tip from a guest: a gate to keep a dog contained would be handy, so bear that in mind. With its peaceful Devon setting, woodland walks, moor access and a properly generous dog policy, The Annexe at Lurley Manor is one of the strongest dog-friendly stays in the area.
