1 / 8East Dart Inn
Yelverton, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A Dartmoor coaching inn in Postbridge since 1862, with nine en suite rooms, some of them dog friendly, and treats kept for visiting dogs.
The old walled garden behind the East Dart Inn once held the stabling for the carriage horses, and it is still the spot that holds the sun. The inn has been part of Postbridge, on Dartmoor, since 1862, and has been fully renovated and restored to reflect its history. These days it is a dog friendly inn, with treats kept for visiting dogs.
There are nine en suite rooms, each individually decorated, and some of them are dog friendly, so contact the inn directly to book and it can make sure all your requirements are met. The inn doesn't mention a limit on dogs per room or whether they can be left alone there, so ask about both. A drying room is there for guests after a day out on the moor, and packed lunches can be made up on request for a day out.
The inn doesn't mention whether dogs can join you where you eat, so check that before you settle in for a meal. Food is served all day, from cream teas and cake to light lunches, jacket potatoes and hot meals, made with locally sourced ingredients, and there is a roast on Sunday. The bar keeps its original settles and the hunting frieze on the walls, with local ales on tap, cider and local gins.
A games room with a pool table and dart board fills a quiet evening. Out on the moor with your dog, Bellever Forest and Bellever Tor Circular is 1.4 miles from the inn on Wildpack's map, and Fernworthy Reservoir Circular Walk is 1.6 miles away.
