Top Dog Friendly Hotels in the UK

Seeking a terrier-rific escape you can enjoy with your four-legged friend? Now some of the finest hotels in the country are welcoming man’s best friend to their plush guest rooms.

See below our pick of pet-welcoming properties you’d be barking mad to overlook.

The Arch, London

The Arch London is a luxurious five-star Georgian townhouse hideaway in the heart of central London. The hotel is dog friendly with an ethos to treat pooches to the same indulgent experience as their owners, with luxurious dog beds, bowls, and a delicious doggy menu cooked to order by the chef.  Dog walking services are also available, allowing owners to relax whilst their furry friends are exploring the 350 acres of nearby Hyde Park.

Hartwell House, Bucks

With its high ceilings, fine fabrics and dreamy views over the extensive landscape, this 17th Century stately home is truly idyllic for man and dog alike. Enjoy dog walks in 95-acres of parkland, or explore the surrounding Buckinghamshire countryside. All of the dog friendly suites at Hartwell House have doors leading directly onto the garden or courtyard. Dog beds, water bowls and snacks are also supplied to ensure your pet pooch feels at home.

The Nare Hotel, Cornwall

Rated by the AA as the best hotel in Cornwall every year for the last 15 years, The Nare Hotel is also hound-happy. All dogs checking into the hotel have dinner included in the cost of their stay, from their own Table d’Hôte menu featuring the Chef’s Dish of the Day. Those with special dietary requirements and desires may find the Dogs’ à la Carte Menu has a wider choice.  There is also plenty of opportunity for exercise along the coastal footpath and on the beach, with biodegradable dog bags available in reception. Outdoorsey breeds may prefer to stay in the kennels, for which there is no charge if on self-catering terms.
