Well behaved dogs on short leads are welcome throughout the garden at Coleton Fishacre, as well as inside the café and shop.

Assistance dogs are allowed in the house.
We've partnered with a local company Forthglade and produced the Canine Code to help both visitors enjoy spending time with their dogs at special places.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
Our definition of close or effective control is:
There are water bowls and waste bins located in the main courtyard where the shop, café and toilet facilities are.
The shop is stocked with pet essentials and accessories, and in the summer the café serves doggie ice cream. If you’d like a memento of your visit, why not pick up a Pooch Passport from the team at visitor reception, where you can record your dog’s days out.
There's a number of countryside car parks located near Coleton Fishacre, which all connect to the South West Coast Path. Venture with your dog to secluded beaches, military monuments and more.
