With our four-legged friends being as close as family to many of us, it’s always a privilege to be able to bring them along with us on our travels. Fortunately, many of our luxury inns are dog-friendly and are surrounded by charming countryside and coastal walks which are perfect dog walking locations. Dog lovers will be pleased to know too that inns such as Selkirk Arms and Rose & Crown have their own resident pooches that may greet you during your stay. Here is a selection of some stays that shouldn’t be overlooked for dog lovers:
The Rose & Crown is one of the most dog-friendly inns you’ll find, even boasting its own Dog Hall of Fame where your furry friend can be honoured. How many other inns can claim that? Twelve of the inn’s 14 rooms are dog-friendly, and guests can request amenities like dog beds, water bowls, washing facilities, and locally made treats. The inn is also surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Upper Teesdale, with the North Yorkshire Dales National Park and Eden Valley just a short drive away.
Whether you’re exploring the stunning Shibden Valley with your dog by your side or unwinding by the inn’s crackling fire, Shibden Mill guarantees a memorable stay for both you and your four-legged friend. Dogs are welcome in all public areas of the inn, though they’re not permitted in the restaurant or bathrooms. With the picturesque countryside just outside your door, Shibden Mill offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for pet lovers.
The Hundred House Hotel offers an exceptional dog-friendly experience that caters to both you and your canine companion. All guest rooms are dog friendly with a £10 charge per dog per night. Dogs are also welcome in its reception, garden, and bar areas. Just like the other inns on this list, The Hundred House Hotel is surrounded by stunning scenery with landmarks such as Weston Park and Ironbridge Gorge being a walkable distance away.
Home to a charming pair of black Labradors, Selkirk Arms Hotel is a puppy-friendly paradise. For a small fee of £7 per night, guests can bring well-behaved dogs into their rooms, and dogs are also welcome in the Burns Room Lounge. Visitors can enjoy a stroll along the River Dee, take in stunning coastal views near the RNLI lifeboat station, and even download a selection of local walks from the hotel’s website.
