DOGS WELCOME
WHERE WILL MY DOG BE WELCOME?
Dartmouth is exceptionally dog-friendly, and it would probably be easier to list where you and your dog wouldn't be welcome.
In Stoke Fleming alone, you will be welcome at both the Green Dragon Pub and in the bar area of the Trattoria Spaggia Restaurant. Out of season, Blackpool Sands is also extremely dog-friendly. The village has a lovely playing field where dogs are welcome and we are frankly spoilt for choice when it comes to spectacular coastal walks to explore in the area.
We also own a fully enclosed 5-acre field. CLICK HERE after making a reservation to register your interest, and having been approved, you will then be able to view availability & book an exclusive slot accordingly)...
10-Mins (max) walk from Channel View, our field is ideal for dogs with poor recall & reactivity etc.
Or maybe, you simply want to enjoy a walk without having to worry about other people and/or their dogs
whilst soaking in the stunning views and scenery?
At Channel View, we don’t just allow dogs — we welcome them. If your dog’s happy, you’re happy… and that makes us happy.
​
To keep things simple (and tails wagging) we just ask:
-
Please keep dogs under control in the communal areas and out of the breakfast room during service. If they aren’t destructive or noisy, they can relax in your room while you eat. Alternatively, if the weather behaves, you’re welcome to dine together in the garden.
-
If you’d like to leave your dog in your room at other times (e.g. dinner out), please check with us first. Some dogs only discover their ‘inner Pavarotti’ when left alone in a strange place (not that we concede we’re strange) – and whilst impressive, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. We also need to know if there are any unattended dogs on the premises in case of fire etc.
​​
In short: Please treat our home the way you’d like guests to treat yours. Any accidental damage (chewing, soiling, or other unexpected artistic expression) may be chargeable.
​
On arrival, you’ll find a welcome goody bag in your room, complete with:
-
Tasty treats (instant friendship guaranteed)
-
“I’m on Holiday!” ID tags (so any little explorers can be quickly reunited without drama). If your dog is prone to testing boundaries, we can also provide GPS I-tags that connect to the collar and directly to your phone (£20 deposit per tag applies)
-
Information on booking our secure field for safe off-lead time (ideal for zoomies and dogs with selective hearing)
​​
We know travelling with dogs can feel like packing for a small expedition, so if you’ve forgotten something, please just ask. We can provide towels, blankets, beds, crates, bowls, leads, collars and more. There’s also a ‘Mud Daddy’ and ‘Cyclone Dryer’ for anyone requiring post-adventure clean-ups.
