Larkstone Cafe Bar in Ilfracombe is a dog-friendly café bar where dogs are welcome inside, so the whole pack can settle in together after a coastal walk. It's the kind of place that suits post-walk hair, happy tired dogs and anyone who's given up on keeping their travel companion from acting like an overly loyal suitcase.

The menu runs from lighter bites to proper meals, with good food, good drinks and enough range to keep groups happy. The atmosphere is lively and sociable without being stressful, and there's a dog training enclosure on site for anyone planning a longer visit or working on recall between coffees.

It's a brilliant spot to pause, refuel and people-watch while your dog finally stops vibrating with excitement and decides the floor is actually quite comfortable. Ideal for families, friends and anyone who wants a coastal café that genuinely welcomes four-legged regulars.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside throughout the café bar, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle. Dogs must stay on leads except in the secure training enclosure, where they can run freely and investigate the obstacle courses.
