Appleby Park Hotel

Tamworth, Leicestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A hotel in rural North West Leicestershire off junction 11 of the M42, with pet friendly rooms on the ground floor and dog bedding and bowls if available.

Just off junction 11 of the M42, on the outskirts of Tamworth and midway between Birmingham and Nottingham, Appleby Park Hotel sits in a rural corner of North West Leicestershire. Its pet friendly rooms are all on the ground floor, so this dog friendly hotel works as a break in a long journey as well as a few days exploring the Midlands together.

Those rooms have a standard king-sized bed or two single beds, with crisp white sheets, snuggly duvets and soft white towels, an en-suite with a bath or shower and tea and coffee making facilities. Pet bedding and bowls can be supplied for your dog, subject to availability, so ask for them when you book. The hotel's pages don't state a limit on dogs or a rule about leaving one in the room, so cover both on the same call.

Eating here is relaxed, with a bar menu served in the lounge area and a drink or two in the evening. The lounge bar goes unmentioned in the hotel's dog notes, which don't say if dogs may come in, so check before you settle in there with yours for supper. Mornings start with a full English breakfast, traditional hot choices, cereals, yoghurts and home-baked pastries.

Beyond the hotel, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Twycross Zoo and the National Memorial Arboretum are all within a short drive. For a walk with your dog, Hicks Lodge Dilworth Woodlands Trail is 4.6 miles away and Alvecote Pools 4.8 miles, both on Wildpack's map.

Facts checked October 2026 from the hotel's own website. Details can change, so please confirm anything important, especially the dog rules, with the hotel before you book.
