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
- Brilliant day - Very pleasant day out, VERY well organised and friendly teams (train and ferry, especially in social distancing times). Would do it again and add the boat cruise.
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- An A+ family experience! - >Excellent time< We arrived at the station to friendly welcome and were greeted by a jolly bloke who gave us an upgrade to a cabin on our own which made us feel like Harry Potter! He gave us lots of info about timings and what amount of time we had been given to allow us to make sure we got back okay. A great time.
