The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn is a traditional Kingswear pub serving food and drink just across the river from Dartmouth, with dogs welcome inside.

Perched opposite the waterfront, it's handy for ferry day-trips, riverside wanders and Kingswear village strolls—keeping you and your dog together without the usual pub-or-dog dilemma. Well-behaved dogs welcome inside, so you can settle in with a pint while they dry off after a muddy ramble or sniff session along the harbour. There's live music both inside and out on the terrace, adding a bit of atmosphere without the stress of leaving anyone tied up outside.

Parking details aren't listed, but it's a village pub close to the Dartmouth ferries, making it a useful pit-stop if you're exploring the estuary on foot or hopping between the two sides of the river.
