1 / 8Hunters Moon Hotel
Sidmouth, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A family run Georgian hotel in Sidmouth with two acres of gardens, where dogs are welcome on a lead, and a private gate onto The Byes.
A private gate from the garden of Hunters Moon Hotel opens straight onto The Byes, the National Trust walk that follows the River Sid, which makes this a dog friendly hotel with its walk built in. The house is a family run, early Georgian residence in two acres of gardens, wooded lawns and mature trees, about ten minutes on foot from Sidmouth's regency shops and sea front.
Well behaved dogs come by prior arrangement, and the hotel asks to be told about yours in advance. Here, your dog is welcome in the garden on a lead, and a dog that stays quiet can be left alone in your room. On how many dogs can come, and on size or breed, the hotel's own pages don't say, so raise both when you book.
Afternoon brings a traditional cream tea, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, which can be taken out in the gardens, where your dog is welcome to settle beside you on its lead. Dogs aren't allowed in the formal dining room, and where else yours may sit with you indoors Hunters Moon doesn't say, so ask before you plan dinner. Dinner is a table d'hôte menu of two or three courses made with local ingredients, vegetarian and vegan dishes among them, and a table is best reserved when you book your room.
The ground floor double and twin rooms open through French windows onto a patio with a table and chairs. The walking starts at that garden gate, where The Byes is the hotel's own suggestion for a dog's off-lead exercise. Sidmouth to Ladram Bay Coastal Walk, one of Wildpack's routes, is 0.6 miles away, and Dawlish Warren, 10.1 miles off, is the nearest beach on Wildpack's list for dogs.
