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 1 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.8/10 - 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
Temple House is a genuinely stunning whole-house rental in Sidmouth, and it makes an impressive base for a holiday with a dog. Guests describe it as a beautiful house in a great location with plenty of open space and good facilities, the kind of place where both you and the dog have room to relax after a day exploring the East Devon coast.
The open space is a real plus for dogs, giving them somewhere to stretch out rather than being cooped up, and Sidmouth's seafront, esplanade and surrounding countryside give you easy walking close by. As a whole house, dogs settle in comfortably and have the run of the place.
There is one honest, practical caveat worth passing on from a guest who stayed with their dog: there is a gap under the garden gate big enough for a dog to slip through. If your dog is small, determined or a known escape artist, keep an eye on the garden and do not assume it is fully secure - a quick check or a temporary barrier across the gap will give you peace of mind.
As a self-catering house, it is worth confirming the pet arrangements with the host when you book. For dog owners who want a beautiful, spacious Sidmouth base with plenty of room, Temple House is an excellent choice and earns a 4.5/5 paw rating, with the garden-gate gap noted for safety.
