1 / 8The Bull Inn
Totnes, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in 2 dog friendly rooms.
An organic, ethical inn overlooking Rotherfold Square at the top of Totnes, with two rooms set aside for dogs and a restaurant that welcomes them too.
At the top of the Totnes high street, looking over Rotherfold Square, The Bull Inn is an organic, ethical pub and hotel in an 18th century inn. Two of its nine rooms are kept for guests travelling with a dog, which gives the town a dog friendly inn where you can sleep and dine with your dog under one roof.
Those rooms are Room No. 1 and Room No. 2. Room No. 1 has a king bed, plastered pink walls, reclaimed furniture and its own en suite, while Room No. 2 is a cosy double in the heart of the building, with an en suite shower room. The rooms were furnished with reclaimed pieces, reworked vintage fabrics and antique market finds. Whether more than one dog can come, or if your dog may stay in the room while you head out, the hotel doesn't say, so ask about both before you travel.
Dogs can eat with you in the restaurant, where organic, ingredient led dishes are cooked from scratch and the menu changes daily before every service. Breakfast runs from porridge with compote to shakshuka or creamy tarragon mushrooms on sourdough toast; later come plates to share, veg-first dishes and mindful meat mains. The drinks follow the same thinking, with organic cocktails, organic beer on draught and non-alcoholic shrubs made with locally grown herbal teas.
The Bull is listed in the Good Food Guide Top 100 Pubs 2025 and the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs 2026, and won the National Restaurant Awards 2024 Sustainability Award. The dog has two river walks on Wildpack's map close by: the Dartington Hall Estate and River Dart Walk is 1.5 miles away and the Sharpham Estate and River Dart Walk 2.2 miles away.
