1 / 8Lord Crewe Arms
Blanchland, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in 16 dog friendly rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Blanchland inn that began life as an abbot's guest house, where dogs join you for a pint, a meal or afternoon tea in the bar and gardens.
In 1165 an abbey was founded at Blanchland, and the building that is now the Lord Crewe Arms began life as the abbot's lodge and guest house. It went on to be a manor house and an inn for lead miners, and today its rooms are spread through the village among dramatic North Pennines moorland. The inn calls itself officially dog obsessed, and this dog friendly inn lives up to the claim, from the thick stone walls to the heather-clad fells.
Dogs stay in 16 of the rooms, up to two well behaved dogs to a room, aged one year or older. A cosy bed, a bowl, a towel and some treats are waiting in the room when you arrive, so your dog can curl up after a day on the moors.
The bar and garden areas both welcome dogs, so a proper Northumbrian pint or a hearty meal comes with your dog by your side. At afternoon tea it works the same way: you get the scones and clotted cream, and your dog can relax at your feet in the bar or gardens. The cooking is honest food to linger over, from fireside snacks to local favourites, with feasts cooked over open flames.
Rooms sit across the former monastery and garden annexes, some with log fires and roll-top tubs, and two Garden Rooms each have a garden space of their own. Many North Pennine routes pass the door, so you and the dog can step straight out into the hills or wander the quiet, ancient streets of Blanchland, and Wildpack's Pow Hill Country Park Circular is 3 miles away.
