Otter Garden Centre, Jack's Patch

Otter Garden Centre at Jack's Patch is a substantial garden centre on the Newton Road between Paignton and Bishopsteignton, stocked with plants, houseplants, garden furniture, gifts and a pet department. Dogs on leads are welcome inside the garden centre, so you can browse the full range with your dog at your side. The centre operates as a proper destination rather than a quick local visit.

You'll find free parking on-site and cafe facilities, making it worth the drive if you're planning a half-day trip in the area. The pet range means you can stock up on supplies while you're there and the scale of the place means there's room to move around comfortably with a dog on a lead.

Otter Garden Centres maintains the same dog-friendly policy across its branches, so if you've visited another centre in the chain, you'll know what to expect here. It's a practical stop for anyone keen to combine garden shopping with a walk and a coffee, all without leaving your dog behind.
