In the late 17th century, the Honourable Order of Little Bedlam (an aristocratic drinking club) rampaged through this coaching inn – today an altogether more upstanding crowd come for the modern pub grub, cinema nights and the garden’s ‘pizza potting shed’ (open on warm-weather weekends). Characterful bedrooms mix vintage furnishings and modern conveniences. Some have exposed stones or feature wallpaper, perhaps an original fireplace, mullioned window.

A warm and welcoming inn, the Fuzzy Duck in Armscote is extremely dog friendly - staff are delighted to meet four-legged friends and there’s a good garden to play in.

There are a number of dog friendly rooms at The Haughmond, a luxury retreat where room rates include your dog stay and your pets are welcome to join you in the restaurant for lunch dinner or breakfast. 

At this dreamy, vibrant B&B, dogs are welcome to join their owners, staying in the rooms for £10 per pet, per night. There’s only one room that doesn’t permit dogs.

Smartly refashioned into a stylish modern country house hotel, a Grade II-listed Georgian manor in glorious Herefordshire countryside, just beyond the town. Popular for weddings and special events, the family-run hotel has bedrooms with garden views, and a fine-dining restaurant.
