We have not checked this one yet

Ivy Shepherds Hut is a real stay in Beesands, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.

Beesands Beach
Beach DOGS WELCOME Dogs all year

Beesands Beach

Dogs allowed all year

A mile of steep shingle in Start Bay, backed by a single row of cottages, the Cricket Inn and a freshwater ley. No dog exclusion applies here in the South Hams order, so it is open to dogs all year; the shelving beach and strong undertow are the reason to think twice, not the rules.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

A 3.7-mile circuit of about two hours from the shingle at Beesands past the ruins of the village the sea took at Hallsands, returning by tracks and green lanes with 200 metres of climbing and one long flight of steps. Start at the free seafront car park at Beesands, reached by narrow lanes from Stokenham, with the Cricket Inn and toilets beside it; the lanes are single track with passing places so a wing mirror is a genuine consideration in August. Beesands is a dog-friendly beach all year and the ley behind it holds fresh water, but the green lanes get overgrown in high summer, the fields hold sheep, and the cliff edge above Hallsands is undercut and unfenced.

Restaurant DOGS WELCOME

Britannia @ the Beach

A family-run shellfish shack and restaurant on the beach road at Beesands, selling crab, lobster and fish landed a few hundred yards away. Well-behaved dogs are part of the welcome, and the setting means a wet dog is nobody's crisis.

Nobody has written one for Ivy Shepherds Hut. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.

Know one we have missed?

Tell us the pub we have not walked into yet.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.

Get the new stamps first.

One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
