Dartmouth Castle Tea Rooms

Dartmouth Castle Tea Rooms is a dog-friendly café tucked beside one of Dartmouth's most dramatic historic landmarks. Dogs are welcome inside the dining room, so you can keep your four-legged companion with you while you order cakes, light lunches and hot drinks after a castle visit or riverside walk. The tearoom is cosy and popular with walkers and staff are known to offer treats.

The location makes it an ideal pit stop if you're exploring the castle grounds or strolling along the South West Coast Path. There's parking at the castle and nearby visitor car parks, making access straightforward even if you've brought leads, bags and muddy paws.

It's the sort of café where you can catch your breath without having to tie your dog outside. Expect classic tearoom fare—sandwiches, cakes and tea—in a spot that understands that castle days are better when the dog comes too.
