Dogs welcome

A perfect holiday is one that all the family enjoy together - and we know your dog is considered part of the family. :)   Besides, we believe dogs should have just as much fun as the rest of us! The Dartmouth Steam Railway & River Boat Company are very much dog friendly - we understand how important our four legged friends are and that they should come on holiday too.

Well behaved dogs are more than welcome on all of our trips for a nominal fee of £3 per dog.
Important Note:  Sorry, only registered disability assistance dogs allowed on the Train of Lights.

However, as a responsible dog owner, we know you'll understand when we ask you to adhere to the following;

  • Keep your dog on a lead at all times.
  • Do not allow your dog to sit on our seats (includes, train, boat, ferry and bus services).
  • Always 'pick up' after your dog.

Reviews

  • Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
  • Perfect day - We have done this several times over the years and is a fantastic day out. The steam train ride is great, but the cruise makes it. The commentary is very good and funny. Would definitely recommend this trip if in the area.
  • Excellent. Recommended. - Numbers on board restricted due to Covid, but it didn't spoil our enjoyment. The Round Robin three-in-one ticket is a must do if you are in the area.
