Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Dartmouth is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Dartmouth for pet-friendly hotels is the town centre, particularly around the waterfront and the main streets like Fairfax Place and Lower Street.

This central area is the heart of Dartmouth, offering convenient access to many amenities and attractions. It's very walkable, with cobblestone streets leading down to the River Dart, where you'll find the Embankment and the Lower Ferry crossing. The town centre is characterised by its historic buildings, independent shops, and a good selection of pubs and restaurants, many of which welcome well-behaved dogs.

Couples travelling with a pet will find this area particularly convenient. You'll be close to places for riverside walks, and many eateries have outdoor seating where dogs are often permitted. The proximity to the ferry also makes it easy to explore Kingswear and access the South West Coast Path for longer walks with your dog.

For those looking for a slightly quieter experience while still being central, areas just a short walk up from the main waterfront, such as those around Horn Hill or Above Town, also offer excellent pet-friendly accommodation options.

The 3.5-star Downton Lodge Country B&B, with a stellar 9.8 rating, provides a private patio for guests, offering a lovely outdoor area for pets to enjoy.

The 3-star Stoke Lodge Hotel, rated 9.4, features a terrace, which guests appreciate for its outdoor space.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Dartmouth?
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 Dartmouth?
The best areas to stay in Dartmouth if you're travelling with pets are those that offer easy access to walking routes and open spaces, such as the town centre or properties just outside the main bustling areas.

For couples travelling with a pet, staying in the heart of Dartmouth offers convenience. Many hotels and self-catering properties in the town centre are pet-friendly, putting you within walking distance of the South West Coast Path, which has many dog-friendly sections. You'll also find several pubs and cafes that welcome well-behaved dogs, especially around the Lower Ferry area and along Duke Street.

Alternatively, if you prefer a quieter stay with more immediate access to green spaces, consider properties slightly outside the town centre, perhaps towards Warfleet Creek or Kingswear. These locations often have larger gardens or are closer to woodland walks without needing to navigate busy streets first.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Dartmouth?
When selecting a hotel in Dartmouth for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
