It's heaven in dog friendly Devon!

Exploring dog friendly Devon



The Devon is one of the most stunning areas in the UK from the stunning English Riviera to the wilds of Dartmoor, it's a great spot to explore with your pooch and luckily there's plenty of dog friendly places to visit.

We spent 48 hours exploring Devon, starting with a stay at The Cary Arms in Babbacombe Bay near Torquay.

This amazing hotel is the perfect base from where to explore the English Riviera and it's location in the bay is great for relaxing.



We stayed in one of their Beach Suites which have masses of space and their own private terrace overlooking the bay.

The room had beds, bowls and treats waiting for us and the humans had some treats waiting for them too.

Dogs are welcome everywhere inside and out at The Cary Arms (just not the Spa)


The food for humans is delicious and can be enjoyed in the restaurant or on the terrace area.

Just look at that view!!

Anstey's Cove

From the hotel there's some great coastal walks - we recommend a visit to Anstey's Cove for some stunning pics.

After exploring the Devon coast, we decided to find out what it's countryside had to offer too and headed to Dartmoor.

The Bearslake Inn is near Okehampton and is a stick's throw away from the National Park.

This fabulous country pub with rooms embodies everything you'd expect from an English country pub.



The menu is restaurant quality and the humans enjoyed excellent food.

Dogs are also well catered for with our own hamper of treats plus beds, blankets and bowls.

The Bearslake Inn has a beautiful garden with a little stream running through it. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad during our stay so we snuggled up by the fire instead.





Another great part of Devon to visit is the pretty harbour town of Dartmouth and you can read Lettie's blog here.
