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
- Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
- Great!! - We all had such a fantastic day out. From the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff at Paignton to the quick and easy ferry crossing and the brilliant steamboat trip. Our captain on the steamboat was just amazing, so funny and full of brilliant facts and local knowledge.
- Absolutely fabulous experience - The whole day was fabulous with great weather and steam trains. The line is one of the most scenic you will ever experience and is a must visit if in the area. I will definitely be back again :-)
