The Ship Inn is a pub on Higher Street, Kingswear. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
The Ship Inn is a real pub in Kingswear, 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.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Tell us your dog policy. Want the whole page — photos, prices, your own words? Claim this listing.
If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Two miles and an hour of walking from the National Trust car park at Coleton Fishacre out to the old wartime camp on the cliff and back, with 120 metres of climbing, steps and one narrow path above a serious drop. The car park is signed off the Brixham to Kingswear road and is free to members, and it is also the nearest parking for the Daymark walk if you want to make a longer day of it. Dogs are welcome on short leads throughout the garden and off the lead is fine on the coastal grassland once you are through it, but the path above Pudcombe Cove has no fence, there is no beach access at all here, and the only water bowl is at the garden entrance.
Kingswear Coffee is a place to eat in Kingswear. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
A demanding 4.9 miles round the mouth of the Dart, three hours or so with 330 metres of climbing, long flights of steps, woodland path and metalled lanes between the two castles and the wartime battery at Froward Point. Start from the marina car park in Kingswear, which is private and paid, or come over on the Lower Ferry from Dartmouth and pick the walk up on foot; the Paignton steam train also stops in the village from April to October. Dogs cope well with the steps but the descent to the battery is steep and exposed, skylarks nest on the Coleton grassland so leads are asked for in spring and early summer, and the only water on the route is the tap at the Froward Point visitor hut when it is open.
Nobody has written one for The Ship Inn. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
