The most dog friendly places in Dartmouth

The most dog friendly places in Dartmouth

Dogs are a huge part of a many of our lives, and we want to share as much as possible with them – but when you are away, it’s tough to find somewhere that will welcome your furry friend.

Dartmouth is a very dog-friendly town, with most of its pubs welcoming canines, and even offering treats too!

Check out some of the best places to visit below:

Royal Castle Hotel

Open for more than 350 years, the Royal Castle has two downstairs bars that both welcome dogs – the staff and clientele are very welcoming, and there are many other dogs in the place for your pooch to say hello to.

Bayards Cove Inn

This is the oldest building in Dartmouth, just down from the historic Bayards Cove, where the Pilgrim Fathers landed on their protracted route to America. Its owners, Charlie and Zuzanna, are proud dog owners themselves, and it is the perfect place to sit with your dog to have a relaxing tea or coffee whilst watching the world go by. 

The Cherub Inn

Again, one of the town’s oldest buildings, the Cherub in Higher Street is very welcoming to dogs and its period setting is the perfect way to soak up an archetypal Dartmouth atmosphere while also having a pint with your best friend.

George and Dragon

The pub, off Mayors Avenue, is very happy to welcome dogs, and again they will receive a warm welcome.

Saveurs

This French patisserie has gained a stellar reputation for its food, but it should also get a five star rating for its dog friendliness! Dogs are very welcome here, as its owners are proud Dalmatian owners.

The Dolphin

This pub, off Market Street, has an upstairs restaurant and a friendly bar downstairs – dogs are a permanent feature here with many considering the friendly bar a second home!

The Windjammer

A pub with a relaxed air that is gaining a reputation for live music, the Windjammer welcomes dogs and their owners to its unique surroundings.

Browns Hotel

A plush and modern place to have a drink and sample some lovely tapas, Brown’s is owned by dog owners and you can have your loyal companion by your side whilst sampling some of the best wines in town.

Ferries

All of the river’s ferries welcome dogs: the Castle Ferry, Passenger Ferry, Lower and Higher Ferries, the Ditttisham Ferry, the Fairmile, the Christie Belle, and all of the boats owned by the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company, including the Kingswear Castle. You can even take your pooch on river trips with Monty Halls’ Great Escapes – as they often take Monty’s dog Reuben out too, so your dog won’t be lonely if they do!

Railway

Dogs are even welcome on the Dartmouth Steam Railway from Kingswear – and on the Round Robin bus ride too, meaning you can loop from Dartmouth to Paignton, on to Totnes and back to Dartmouth, all accompanied by your best (furry) friend.

Dog friendly?

Hi there, I appreciate this list of dog friendly places! Is this list still current? We're planning a month long sabbatical to Dartmouth spring of 2018 and we're bringing our two small dogs! Thank you, Leslie

Generally Friendly

Hi, we visit Devon once or twice a year (we're going Saturday for a week), we stay at Gara Mill Lodges (self-catering, dog friendly) and take our 3 small dogs! There are always places that are dog-friendly - I am unsure if this list is still up to date however if not, there will always be places that allow dogs, most places do in the area - it's really common, we've been to pubs, cafe's, restaurants, had cream tea's all with the dogs inside and have never looked for places pre-visit so there will be loads of places - have fun with your furry friends!
