1 / 8Oakley Hall Hotel
Basingstoke, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Georgian manor house hotel near Basingstoke with 315 acres of grounds, where dogs stay in Courtyard rooms and the Woodland Walk goes around them.
Oakley Hall dates back to 1795, a Georgian manor house in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, restored into a country house hotel with 50 bedrooms. Around it lie 315 acres of grounds, gardens and woodland, and that is the heart of its case as a dog friendly hotel: walks start straight from the hotel's door, so there is no need to drive anywhere.
Dogs stay in designated rooms and suites in the Courtyard, a short walk from the main hotel, with quick access to the grounds. Two dogs per bedroom or suite is the hotel's limit, and each finds a bed, a blanket, water and food bowls, a bag of treats and waste bags waiting; the hotel still suggests bringing a familiar bed or blanket from home. In the public areas of the property dogs stay on the lead, and within the grounds they are welcome off it.
Dogs are welcome on the outdoor Garden Terrace, provided they're well behaved and leave the other guests in peace, but the hotel's pages don't state whether dogs may come into the 1795 Bar & Lounge, so ask before settling in for cocktails. The Glasshouse Restaurant cooks field to fork, sourcing many ingredients from within a 50-mile radius, with some produce from the hotel's own Kitchen Garden, with afternoon tea and Sunday roasts on the menu too.
The Coach House and Clock Tower Suites in the Courtyard are split-level, each with a large lounge area, and rooms come with crisp Egyptian cotton linens. Your dog's walking begins with the Woodland Walk around the Oakley Hall grounds, roughly 30 to 45 minutes, and Watership Down, on Wildpack's own list of walks, is 4.7 miles away.
