Two Bridges Hotel

If your idea of the perfect dog-friendly getaway includes endless moorland walks, cosy evenings by a log fire and breathtaking scenery right outside your door, Two Bridges Hotel is hard to beat.

Nestled on the banks of the West Dart River in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this historic country hotel has been welcoming travellers for generations. Surrounded by open moorland, ancient woodland and some of Devon’s most iconic walking routes, it’s an ideal destination for couples, families and dog owners looking to escape into nature.

Dogs are genuinely part of the welcome here. Most bedrooms are dog friendly, complete with thoughtful canine treats on arrival, while furry guests are welcome to relax beside you in the cosy bar and elegant lounge after a day exploring the moors. Although dogs aren’t permitted in the main restaurant, the hotel is happy to serve breakfast and dinner in the bar or lounge so you can dine together.

Step outside and adventure begins immediately. The famous walk to Wistman’s Wood starts virtually from the hotel, while countless trails criss-cross Dartmoor’s tors, rivers and valleys. Whether you’re tackling longer hikes, spotting Dartmoor ponies or simply enjoying a gentle riverside stroll, there are walks to suit every pace.

Inside, the hotel combines traditional country-house charm with modern comfort. Individually designed bedrooms overlook the river or surrounding moorland, while the award-winning restaurant, welcoming bar and comfortable lounges provide the perfect place to unwind after a day outdoors.

Perfectly positioned between Plymouth, Tavistock and Exeter, the Two Bridges Hotel is an outstanding base for discovering Dartmoor’s villages, historic sites and natural beauty while enjoying one of Devon’s most established dog-friendly hotels.
