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 3 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.3/10 - 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
The Squirrels is a spacious whole-house rental in Plymouth that works well for families or groups travelling with a dog, with a genuinely handy feature on the doorstep: a guest travelling with their dog noted a dog walking area directly opposite the house, which makes those first-thing and last-thing walks refreshingly easy.
Inside, the property is set up for sociable stays, with a big kitchen and dining space, comfortable living areas, plenty of beds and a hot tub that guests have singled out as a highlight. Having the whole house to yourselves means no shared corridors to manage with a dog, and there is room to spread out. The one detailed account on record from a dog owner rated the stay highly overall, though they did flag a few practical points for larger groups: a single bathroom can be tight for six, and a little more outdoor lighting around the hot tub would help after dark. With just one dog-owner review so far, treat that as an encouraging early sign rather than a long track record.
It suits owners who want a roomy, group-friendly base with easy dog walking nearby, and who are happy to confirm the current pet terms with the property directly when booking, since no specific dog fee is listed.
