On a peaceful side street in a historic market town, The Lamb Inn welcomes dogs to stay and go in the bar, lounges and garden but not in the two rosette restaurant.

A Grade II listed Cotswold pub with rooms, The Royal Oak in Tetbury includes three dog-friendly rooms amongst six in total.

The 16th century inn has been transformed into five luxurious bedrooms and three suites under its cosy thatch. There are also bohemian converted Shepherd’s huts. Dogs allowed in some rooms and public rooms for £20 per dog per night and dog beds are provided.

In a historic wool town, the classic Cotswold-stone exterior of this ‘likeable’ 17th-century inn gives way to a cool, contemporary decor that mixes wooden beams and ancient floorboards with Scandi-chic furnishings, a fine cocktail list and a family-friendly feel.

Embracing its rural roots, this traditional inn cosies up deep in the Cotswold countryside.

In the Harry Potter style surrounds of Lacock in Wiltshire, the Sign of the Angel is a magical 15th century inn and B&B, where dogs are welcome to stay overnight for a cost of £15. 

A brook runs through the village green in front of Nicola and Archie Orr- Ewing’s Cotswold-stone inn. Inside: hefty beams, high-backed settles, horse brasses and all the trappings of an ancient country pub, plus Giles Lee’s emphatically modern cooking. Characteristic dishes: fillet of sea trout, crisp gnocchi, pickled shallots; wild garlic leaf, pea and spinach risotto. Cottage-style bedrooms are above the inn and around a quiet courtyard.

A traditional Cotswold pub with rooms, The Village Pub in Barnsley serves an excellent lunch and is dog friendly too.

You can mess about in boats with a fishing rod, sip a pint of bitter in the sunshine or enjoy classic gastropub fare at this cheerful pub-with-rooms beside the Thames, with moorings that are free to guests.
