We're dog lovers here at Devon Coastal Cottages and we love taking our dog with us anywhere that we go and understand that you can’t leave a member of the family out when you go on holiday. The great news is that South Devon is really dog friendly; the local beaches, pubs and restaurants are all very welcoming to dogs. 

Lamacraft House is dog-friendly so pack your doggie treats and bring your four-legged friend when you come to stay. Lamacraft House accepts two well-behaved dog over the age of two years. No puppies. Please let us know their name on the booking form and if they’d like to star on our Facebook page we’d love to feature them! So please do share your photos with us.

It’s dog walking heaven at Lamacraft House There are loads of places to walk your dog around Klamacraft House. Extensive gardens and a pathway that leads straight down to Hallsands Beach, also dog-friendly. This is, by the way, amazing if your dog likes swimming (and great for humans too!). Plus, you have numerous beaches on your doorstep that are dog-friendly and The South West Coast Path is on your doorstep too.  Or the road up to Start Point lighthouse (which is a pretty quiet road). There are also safe beaches for them to swim and secret coves for a spot of wild swimming around Start Point.

To top it all off our local gastro pub The Cricket Inn at Beesands is VERY dog friendly. As are most of the pubs and restaurants in this area. 

Want to go further afield then take a trip to Dartmoor and visit Widecombe-In-The-Moor, Dartmeet or Avon Dam  or the Tors to explore. You’ll find walks of all lengths and circular walks. 

Locally there are some lovely long walks, especially a circular walk that takes in the lost village of Hallsands, Start Point lighthouse that features in the Independent travel section. Take a look here.

Other local places to walk to are  Prawle and Gara Rock maybe or walk to East Portlemouth and visit the Venus cafe via the South West Coast path and then catch the ferry over to Salcombe.

Here are some tips from the South West Coast Path on walking with your dog. 

Note: Two well behaved dogs are welcome at this property and must be added when you make your booking.  There is a charge of £40 per dog.

We do ask that no dogs are allowed upstairs and that the stairgates are used at all times in Lamacraft House if you are bringing a dog and that dogs are not left alone or allowed to go on the furniture.
