The Sportsmans Arms

The Sportsmans Arms is a traditional country pub set in Hemborough Post, just south of Dartmouth, where dogs are welcome inside the bar area and heated marquee. It's a useful stop for walkers and drivers exploring the coast road toward Stoke Fleming and Blackpool Sands, with typical rural-pub parking and a warm welcome for muddy paws.

Dogs can join you in the bar and the heated marquee, making it easy to keep everyone together over a drink or meal. The restaurant is off-limits for dogs, but the bar offers proper pub hospitality without the outdoor-only shuffle.

It's the kind of place that works well when you need a rest mid-walk or a proper lunch without leaving your dog in the car. The official FAQ mentions that dogs may get a biscuit and the set-up suits those who want a country-pub stop with straightforward indoor access for their four-legged travel companion.
