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
- 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.
- Agatha Christie country - The ride on the train is beautiful right along the coast & Dart valley. You can also take your well behaved dog. I would highly recommend this excursion, we go every time that we are in Devon, it is not to be missed.
- At last! - Went by steam train and ferry to Dartmouth on the last day of our holiday. Beautiful. Lovely journey on the steam train and the ferry was also a very pleasant trip. Spent a couple of hours in Dartmouth before repeating the journey. So glad I have managed to do it at last!
