Devon loves dogs! So when you come here to enjoy our beaches, countryside, and unrivalled hospitality, why not share it with your faithful, furry, four-legged friend? There’s (obviously) plenty to do outdoors (have you ever seen a dog who doesn’t enjoy a beach?); plus, you’ll find many of our pubs and inns in the Dart Valley are only too happy to welcome a new canine customer.

We’ve dozens of pet-friendly homes – so remember to pack the lead, toys, and chews and share your well-earned holiday. Here are just a few extra suggestions:

Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat

Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company offer dog-friendly trips, including a ride on a steam train from Dartmouth onwards to Paignton and back. The wonderful views are a must on the train, and you can couple this with a bus and boat trip.
