Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

The Yachtsman is a waterside pub on Blandford Road in Hamworthy, part of the Hall & Woodhouse family. Dogs are welcome inside across the bar and dining areas, so you can settle in for food without leaving anyone in the car. It's particularly useful after harbour-side walks or a loop round Hamworthy Park, when muddy paws and hungry humans arrive at the same time.
The pub serves breakfast from 8am on Fridays and Saturdays and from 9am on Sundays, with food available throughout the day. The rest of the week it opens at 11am. Inside, you'll find the relaxed, unfussy atmosphere Hall & Woodhouse pubs are known for, with enough space for leads and bags under the table.
Its location close to Poole Harbour and the nearby beach makes it a practical stop for dog owners exploring the area. Whether you're after a quick drink or a longer meal with the whole group, The Yachtsman delivers straightforward, dog-friendly hospitality in a spot that works well for walkers.
