Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 1 dog per room.
An 18th-century Grade 1 listed mansion in the Shropshire hills with 35 bedrooms, where your dog is met with a goody bag full of treats.
In the rolling hills of the Shropshire countryside, Hawkstone Hall & Gardens is an 18th-century mansion, Grade 1 listed, with sweeping staircases, ceilings gilded in gold and 88 acres of grounds. This dog friendly hotel keeps butlers on hand throughout your stay, and your dog is welcomed too, with a goody bag full of treats and a pet card of its own.
Dog friendly bedrooms are limited, so tell the team you're bringing your dog when you call to book. The house keeps to one dog per room, and dogs can't be left unattended, whether in a bedroom or a public area. All 35 bedrooms look out over the rolling countryside at the front or Hawkstone Gardens at the back.
The Saloon Restaurant and the bars go unmentioned in the dog rules, and the hotel doesn't state if your dog may come along to either, so raise it on that same call. The Saloon was once the Art Gallery of the Hill family, whose ancestors lived here for over 300 years, and it still overlooks the gardens, hung with portraits and landscapes. The cooking is chiefly British, from Shropshire farming neighbours and the hotel's own Kitchen Garden, there's no jacket and tie dress code, and afternoon tea comes as a traditional, a savoury gentlemen's or a healthy guilt-free spread.
Down in The Cave there's a large screen TV, a pool table and a football table, the Orangery Gym is open to guests, and Hunters wellies and bikes are lent out for exploring the estate. Your room or reception has four of the hotel's recommended walking, running and cycling routes, and out with the dog, Grinshill Hill and Corbet Wood, from Wildpack's list, is 4 miles away.
