The All-Inclusive Pooch Pass

Dog lovers, this one’s for you.

The Old Exeter Inn is proud to be home to the world’s first Doggy Pub. Free-flowing ‘Dog Beer’ straight from the barrel. Doggy Ice Cream. Treats on the house. Your four-legged friend is not just welcome here – they’re celebrated.

We know how difficult it can be to find places that truly welcome your best friend. Even in country pubs. We think it’s time that changed.

“A lot of people are living alone these days and their animals are their close family. The small community or country pub should try and be helpful.” – David Hattersley

David remembers driving for three days through Spain in the heat of summer with his cat, Witherington. The hotels along the way were wonderfully accommodating – litter trays, good food, real care. It meant a lot. That kind of attention to detail builds loyalty.

“It’s the small things that count. But always do them well if you’re going to do them.”

We hope our little Pooch Pass will encourage well-behaved dog owners to try us out here on Dartmoor. And perhaps other pubs might follow?
