Greenbanks was once an old coaching inn called the Nelson, and today it is a hotel in the heart of the Norfolk countryside between Dereham and Swaffham, with a lake and wild flowers that draw in wildlife. Its central spot gives a dog the choice of countryside or coastline, with Thetford Forest, Holkham and Titchwell all within reach, and the staff love to greet furry visitors, so this dog friendly hotel starts with a real welcome.

Some of the ground floor rooms take dogs, up to two dogs sharing, and all of the dog friendly rooms have walk in showers for after the muddy days. Tell the hotel you're bringing your dog when you book, as that decides which room you're given. A well behaved dog is welcome to settle in the room while you go for dinner, breakfast or a swim, and a guide to the Norfolk coastline and its beaches comes with your booking confirmation.

Dinner draws on locally sourced Norfolk produce, with dishes such as Norfolk venison game pie, miso broth, double smoked salmon and a chocolate brownie, and the chef is happy to talk through ingredients for anyone with allergies or intolerances. Greenbanks doesn't say whether a dog can join the table at dinner, so check when booking; otherwise a well behaved dog can settle in the room while you eat.

The indoor pool is kept at 32 degrees, with a sauna and hot tub too, and the lake holds Roach, Rudd and Carp for anyone who fancies fishing. A lap of the lake makes a good morning stroll with the dog before you head out further afield, and the hotel suggests a 1.5 mile walk at Castle Acre. Wildpack puts the nearest dog friendly beach, Burnham Overy Staithe Beach, 19.9 miles from Greenbanks.
