1 / 8Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant
Wark, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in 4 dog friendly rooms.
A pub, hotel and restaurant in Wark, Northumberland, where the bar and restaurant are dog friendly areas and four ground floor rooms take dogs.
Battlesteads is a pub, hotel and restaurant in the village of Wark on Tyne, on the River North Tyne 12 miles north of Hexham, with its own Dark Sky Observatory for star gazing. Dogs are welcome in this dog friendly inn: the bar and the restaurant are both dog friendly areas, and the welcome is warm and friendly.
Four ground floor rooms welcome pets, by prior arrangement only, and they have easy, level access to the bar and restaurant. These are among 22 en-suite bedrooms, each with its own décor style and character, with a flat screen television, Freeview, DVD, an ironing board and a hairdryer. On the number of dogs, and on leaving yours in the room by itself, the hotel doesn't say; ask when you make the arrangement.
Mention your dog when you book a table, and it can lie at your feet in the restaurant through dinner. The kitchen works with prime local ingredients from the livestock, game, fish and poultry of rural Northumberland, grows many of its own herbs, salads, vegetables and fruit in the kitchen garden, and oak smokes duck, chicken and salmon in its on-site smokery. The cooking is mainly modern British with some international choices, and the bar is passionate about its ales, beers and wines.
Sustainability is woven into everything the hotel does, down to the timber of its lodges. Wark on Tyne is well placed for exploring Northumberland's Border country and Hadrian's Wall, by car, by cycle or on foot with your dog, and the 680 bus from Hexham will stop right outside the front door if you ask the driver.
