Dog-friendly Bearslake Inn, Devon

Overview

The Bearslake Inn is a dog-friendly, Grade II listed former longhouse dating back to 13c - situated in the heart of Dartmoor. Located between the small market towns of Tavistock and Okehampton, Bearslake Inn makes an ideal base for exploring the delights of the local Moors and Tors of the National Park with your best furry friend in tow. The bedrooms are extremely spacious making them ideal if you have more than one dog. Just two miles south of the A30 on the border between Devon and Cornwall, it is easy to reach and yet is set amidst glorious remote walking country - perfect for a dog-friendly escape. The magnificent Sourton Tor, Corn Ridge and Great Links Tor are all just a short walk away with the Granite Way cycle path running directly behind the pub. The Inn specialises in local produce and there is a large pub garden with a babbling brook running through it, which provides direct access for you and your pet to Dartmoor. There are treats in the bar and a welcome dog hamper for every four legged friend including blankets, bowls, and treats.

Must be the super dog-friendly atmosphere, the fabulous treats and dog hamper laid out for your pet and the local Moors and Tors of Dartmoor’s National Park waiting to be explored.

Dine with Your Dog

You can dine with your dog in the cosy bar which serves the same menu as in the restaurant. Head Chef Jason Barnard uses local produce from West Country suppliers including small artisan producers of cheese, ice cream and smoked products. Wherever possible the produce is sourced direct from the farmer, fisherman or grower. The pub’s signature dish is the Bearslake chocolate bar - truly delicious.
