1 / 8De Vere Wokefield Estate
Reading, West Berkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A Victorian mansion house estate near Reading in 250 acres of parkland, where dogs stay in rooms allocated pet-friendly and sit with you in Benedict's Bar.
There has been an estate at Wokefield since the first house went up in the 1560s for the Plowden family, and the Victorian mansion house at the centre of it now anchors 376 bedrooms in 250 acres of Berkshire parkland. What this dog friendly hotel is specific about is where a dog goes: rooms allocated pet-friendly sit in Wokefield Place, Wellington Lodge and Wokefield House, and Benedict's Bar and the 1560 Lounge and Bar are the rooms a dog can sit in with you.
Every dog that stays gets its own bowl, bed and treats to use through the stay. There is a size rule, which the hotel puts as no heavier than about 35kg, the size of a fully grown male labrador. The hotel doesn't say whether one can stay in the room alone, so raise that when you book.
Dogs are permitted in Benedict's Bar and the 1560 Lounge and Bar area only, which makes that the spot for a drink together at the end of the day. A classic British afternoon tea can be taken in the Mansion House. Eating together is the gap: the hotel doesn't state where a dog may do it, so check first.
The leisure side runs to a gym with newly refitted Technogym equipment and an indoor swimming pool, open daily for guests, and in the grounds there is an 18-hole PGA-standard golf course and an outdoor activity course. The Mansion House carries 87 guestrooms, 12 of them luxury suites, and dogs go in the rooms the hotel has allocated for them.
