That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

WHSmith on Victoria Street is a familiar high-street bookshop and newsagent in the heart of Paignton's shopping district, just a short walk from the train station. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can browse the books, magazines and news without leaving your companion tied outside.

It's the sort of place you can pop into during a town-centre walk—grab a magazine, browse the stationery or check out the latest paperbacks while your dog settles beside you. The stop-and-sniff break you both need when high street wandering gets repetitive.

Water bowls are available, which means you can refresh your dog without a detour to find a café. Central location, dog-friendly access and enough reading material to kill half an hour—it's a practical pit-stop for people-watching and book hunting in Paignton's main shopping area.
