Dog-friendly hotels in Devon understand that guests aren’t just bringing pets, they’re bringing walking companions. Many properties are set up with this in mind, whether they’re near the coast, tucked into the countryside or located in lively market towns.
Here’s what you’ll usually find:
Easy access to outdoor space Many hotels are close to walking routes, beaches or open countryside, so you can head straight out without needing to drive anywhere first. That’s especially helpful for early morning strolls or relaxed evening wanders.
Rooms designed with dogs in mind You’ll often find ground-floor rooms or spaces with practical flooring, making life simpler after muddy or sandy outings. Some hotels also provide bowls, treats or towels for drying off.
Plenty of nearby dog-friendly places to eat Devon’s known for its relaxed hospitality, and that extends to four-legged guests. Pubs with gardens, casual dining spots and coastal cafés often welcome dogs, so you won’t have to plan your day around where they’re allowed.
A slower pace that suits travelling with dogs Whether you’re staying by the sea or inland, Devon naturally encourages you to take your time. That means longer walks, unhurried lunches and evenings where everyone can settle in and recharge.
Devon offers that rare balance of coast and countryside, so you can shape your days around how energetic or laid-back you’re feeling. One morning might mean a breezy beach walk. The next could be all about green hills, quiet lanes and pub stops along the way.
You’ll find:
With so much variety packed into one county, Devon’s perfect if you like having plenty of options without travelling far.
Here are some well-known options to help you get started:
The Salcombe Harbour Hotel A stylish coastal hotel with dog-friendly rooms. You’re right on the estuary, making it easy to enjoy beach walks or strolls along the South West Coast Path.
The Dart Marina Hotel Located by the river in Dartmouth, this welcoming hotel offers dog-friendly rooms and is close to both waterside walks and local pubs.
Bovey Castle, Newton Abbot A countryside retreat with plenty of open space for dogs. It’s ideal if you want to explore moorland trails and enjoy a peaceful evening by the fire.
Policies vary, so it’s always best to double-check the latest details before you book, especially if you’ve got a larger dog or plan to bring more than one.
Take a look through our dog-friendly hotels in Devon and find somewhere that fits the kind of break you have in mind. Whether you’re chasing coastal views, countryside calm or a bit of both, Devon’s the sort of place where holidays feel better when your dog’s along for the journey.
We’ve got a range of dog-friendly rooms in Devon but some of the most popular stays include Hotel Du Vin Exeter, which has a pool, and The New Inn which has an award-winning restaurant.
For romantic breaks in Devon, we recommend Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel, The Thelbridge Inn or The Lamb Inn.
Typically, dogs get a dog bed, water bowls, treats and toys. You can expect a range of amenities for yourself too including en suite bathrooms, balconies, tea and coffee making facilities and, of course, a comfy bed!
This depends on a few different factors including where you stay and for how long. If you have a budget in mind, our team can recommend suitable options.
Definitely! As well as lots of dog-friendly walks including the popular Castle Drogo and Cod Wood Circular, almost all of Devon’s beaches are dog-friendly and lots of the pubs and cafes are too.
