1 / 8Northgate House Hotel
Buckfastleigh, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 32 room hotel beside Buckfast Abbey near Dartmoor, where dogs stay in designated ground floor rooms and may join you, on a lead, in the bar.
Buckfast Abbey is just a few short steps from Northgate House Hotel, a newly refreshed hotel set within the Abbey's own grounds in South Devon, right on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Having the moor on its doorstep and the Abbey Church a short walk away, this dog friendly hotel makes a peaceful base for a countryside escape with your dog.
Dogs stay in designated ground floor rooms, up to two in a bedroom, and a dog stay must be requested by calling or emailing reception at least 48 hours before you arrive. What is laid on for the dog, and whether it can be left in the room while you go out, Northgate's website doesn't say, so put both questions to reception when you call.
In the bar area, dogs are welcome on a lead at all times, so a drink together at the end of the day is easy. The restaurant itself is off limits to dogs, and for meals elsewhere Northgate doesn't say what's possible, so ask before booking a table. San Benedetto's, the restaurant, serves Italian influenced dishes with British flair, and its chefs work with the Abbey Estate to bring in fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
For a day by the sea with the dog, Broadsands Beach, the nearest dog friendly beach we list, is 10.6 miles away.
