"Arrived late at our stay and then realised that we had in fact booked for the weekend after! Disaster after a 6 hour drive and very little options. We apologised and explained the error to our host. Amazingly and also luckily the host immediately went to work setting up an alternative glamping pod for us to stay in. The place was immaculate, hosts are extremely friendly and everything about the trip was perfect and as described. We will certainly be returning."

Which area of Bideford is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?

For travellers with pets, staying slightly out of the immediate town centre, for example, along the A39 towards Northam or in the quieter residential areas on the outskirts, often provides more suitable accommodation options. These areas tend to have more properties with gardens or direct access to footpaths and green spaces, which are ideal for pets. Look for hotels or guesthouses a short drive from the main high street, as they often cater specifically to guests with animals.

Couples travelling with pets will appreciate the convenience of being close to scenic walks without being in the busiest part of town.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Bideford?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Bideford?
The best areas to stay in Bideford are the town centre for convenience and access to amenities, or the quieter residential areas just outside for a more relaxed experience.

The historic Pannier Market is also located centrally, offering a variety of local crafts and produce. It's very walkable and provides direct access to the Tarka Trail, which is ideal for walks with your dog.

Couples travelling with their dogs will find the town centre convenient for exploring Bideford on foot. You're close to boat trips departing from the Quay, many of which welcome well-behaved dogs, offering a lovely way to see the coastline. The numerous dog-friendly pubs and cafes mean you won't have to leave your furry friend behind while you enjoy a meal or a drink.

For those who prefer a more tranquil setting, the residential areas just a short walk or drive from the town centre, such as those near Victoria Park, offer a good alternative. These areas often feature accommodations with gardens, providing more space for pets. Victoria Park itself is a nice spot for a dog walk, with open green spaces.

Families with pets might prefer these slightly quieter areas. The extra space in accommodations can be a real benefit, and the nearby parks offer easy access to exercise for both children and dogs without venturing far.
