1 / 8Boringdon Hall Hotel & Spa
Plymouth
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A historic Devonshire manor on the outskirts of Dartmoor, where dogs get a cosy bed, a Sleepy Bones treat and a menu of their own.
Boringdon takes its name from the Saxon for enchanted place on the hill, and its history reaches back as far as the Domesday Book. Today the grand Devonshire manor has 55 rooms and suites, fire-lit lounges and manicured grounds on the outskirts of Dartmoor. Dogs get a royal welcome at this dog friendly hotel.
Dogs stay in selected Courtyard Rooms and the Executive Suite. The Courtyard Rooms are peaceful rooms a short walk from the manor house, with Hypnos beds and a coffee machine. Your dog has the use of a cosy bed and a water bowl, gets a Sleepy Bones treat and has a dog menu to choose from; speak to the reservations team to arrange it. The hotel doesn't say whether dogs may stay alone in the room, or how many can come, so raise both with reservations.
After a long walk, you and your dog can curl up in front of the fire in the Great Hall, where lighter bites and afternoon tea are served. For a proper meal together, the Grenville has limited space for dining with your dog, so ask reservations to hold a table when you book. Dogs can't go into Àclèaf, the Michelin starred, 4 AA Rosette restaurant, or the Mayflower Brasserie, and they stay out of the spa.
Gaia Spa, for adults only, has an indoor pool heated to 30°C, a hydrotherapy pool with an outdoor swim through and a Finnish sauna, and it was named Condé Nast Johansen Best Hotel Spa in the UK. Miles of walks start on the doorstep, with a map of local routes at reception for you and your dog, and Mothecombe Beach is Wildpack's nearest dog friendly beach to the hall, 7.7 miles away.
