A dog-friendly pub in Budleigh Salterton
There’s a dog on our sign for a reason. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar, the garden and even the function room, with water and treats on the house.
Bring the whole family, four legs included
The pub got its name from Florrie Doney’s dog, who followed her donkey and coal cart around Knowle a hundred years ago. We’ve been welcoming dogs ever since.
After a walk on the beach at Budleigh, along the Otter Estuary or across the Pebblebed Heaths, come and dry off by the fire. Your dog gets water and a treat, and you get a pint and something good to eat.
- Dogs welcome in the bar and garden
- Water bowls and treats
- Dogs welcome at functions too
- Big garden with space to settle
