For a homely base with spacious living areas, our Sandsurfer and Starsurfer bungalows set amid landscaped gardens are sure to set tails wagging, while our Arriba Apartments offer light and airy accommodation close to all park facilities.
Wherever you choose to lay your head – and your dog bed – expect cosy comfort, a warm welcome and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out after a day of adventuring.
Walkies, Playtime and Local Adventures
Dawlish Warren and the surrounding area are jam-packed with things to do, from wonderful walkies and doggy days out to woof-welcoming beaches, offering every member of your pack the holiday of their dreams.
From gentle strolls to scenic adventures, there’s plenty of variety for canine explorers. Enjoy a leisurely walk around Dawlish town, roam meadows and woodlands at Dawlish Countryside Park, or sniff out adventure at Haldon Forest. The South West Coast Path offers numerous options too, including a circular trail around Dawlish and a longer route to Teignmouth – perfect for energetic pups!
Come rain or shine, South Devon is packed with attractions offering a warm welcome to your furry friend. Discover Babbacombe’s intriguing model village and take a ride on the Cliff Railway or enjoy a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat. History-loving hounds can explore Powderam and Totnes castles, while the quirky Bygones Museum in Babbacombe is a great option on rainy days.
And if your pup loves scampering on sands, we’ve got you covered. River beach and Holcombe beach in Teignmouth along with Ness Cove in Shaldon are dog-friendly all year. Elsewhere, Dawlish Warren, Dawlish town beach, and Teignmouth and Shaldon beaches have seasonal restrictions between 1 April and 30 September but still offer places for pups to play. Check local signage for updated information.
Dining Out With Your Dog
South Devon is foodie paradise – with a delicious range of dog-friendly pubs, restaurants and cafes, so you never have to leave your four-legged friend behind at mealtimes. For a pint and a bite among the dunes, head to The Boathouse Bar & Grill at Dawlish Warren beach or enjoy stunning views from the cliff-top Mount Pleasant Inn.
On the outskirts of Dawlish town, The Smugglers Inn is a local favourite for family meals in a relaxed setting with panoramic views over countryside and sea, while Cockwood’s Anchor Inn and Ship Inn offer waterside dining in a classic Devon village. Many local spots go the extra mile with water bowls and treats on hand for their canine guests.
