How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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 24 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 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
Strawberry Fields is a spacious whole-house rental in central Torquay, and it works well for a group or family holidaying with a dog. As an entire house rather than a hotel room, there are no shared spaces to worry about, so dogs have the run of the place and settle in easily.
The one guest who stayed with dogs enjoyed it and would recommend it, with plenty of room for the whole party and comfortable beds. There is a park just five minutes down the road for walks, and the centre of Torquay, with its harbour and seafront, is a walkable twenty minutes away, so there is no shortage of places to take the dog.
One honest caveat for dog owners: the garden is not fully enclosed, so dogs need to be kept on the lead when let out rather than roaming freely. The guest who flagged this did not find it a problem, but it is worth knowing if you were counting on a secure garden for off-lead time.
As a self-catering house, pet arrangements are best confirmed with the host when you book. For dog owners who want space, a central Torquay base and easy access to parks and the seafront, Strawberry Fields is a comfortable choice and earns a 4.5/5 paw rating.
