Kentisbury Grange

Kentisbury, Devon

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A Grade II manor house at the gateway to Exmoor, where dogs join you for meals in the bar and restaurant and walks start from the door.

Built in 1894 as a gentleman's residence, Kentisbury Grange is a Grade II manor house among the rolling hills of North Devon, at the gateway of Exmoor National Park, its architecture mixing Regency understatement with Victorian Gothic. Walks and trails for you and your dog start right from the doorstep of this dog friendly hotel.

In the Main House one bedroom is kept ready for a dog, with more available if needed, and the two Cottage Suites include dog friendly options. Each Cottage Suite has a large double bed, 366 square feet of space and large windows framing the garden. On numbers of dogs and on leaving one alone, the hotel doesn't say; raise both at booking.

The Coach House, which served as a dormitory and schoolroom for children evacuated from Plymouth in the 1940s, is now where you eat, and its bar and restaurant are both dog friendly, so your dog can join you for meals. The restaurant has handcrafted furniture and an open-theatre kitchen where the chefs cook brasserie style dishes from local, fresh ingredients, keeping food miles low, and the wine list ranges across the globe alongside local wines.

Three Luxury Cottage Suites add a private outdoor hot tub, and the Kentisbury Suite, the premier room, has an extra-large double bed. Wildpack's Parracombe and Heddon Valley Circular is 3.7 miles away if your dog wants more miles, and Combe Martin Beach, 4.3 miles off, is Wildpack's pick as the nearest dog friendly beach.
