The Marine Tavern in Dawlish is located on the seafront and overlooks the Exeter-Plymouth railway line, which frequently sees steam-powered services go by.

Dogs are welcome in the bar at The Marine Tavern, but they must be well behaved, kept on a lead and off the furniture.

While your dog is resting after a walk around the town, you can enjoy one of the real ales, cider, wine or soft drinks on offer.

Food is also available at the pub, serving for lunch and evening meals, with seating in the bar area and the walled front garden.

If you are eating be sure your dog is well-behaved.
