1 / 8Royal Oak Hotel
Garstang, Lancashire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A 17th century coaching inn on the Market Place in Garstang, where dogs are greeted with water bowls and treats at the bar.
Water bowls and treats wait at the bar for dogs at the Royal Oak Hotel, a 17th century coaching inn in the heart of the market town of Garstang. It calls itself a family friendly, dog friendly pub, and with nine en suite rooms, Robinsons cask ales and home cooked pub classics, it is a dog friendly inn right in the middle of a bustling market town.
The nine rooms are six doubles, a twin and two singles, with en suite showers, toiletries, a hospitality tray and a TV. Breakfast is a full English with all the trimmings, a lighter continental-style alternative, or both. The Royal Oak doesn't state its room rules for dogs, such as numbers or time alone in the room, so ask when you book.
Tables are set in the bar area, the restaurant and the old-worldy Oak room, all with full table service. Where dogs may sit while you eat is something the Royal Oak doesn't mention, so check that when you reserve. The kitchen keeps to traditional English, home cooked food from fresh local produce: hearty pies with a choice of fillings, locally sourced steak and a Sunday roast the inn calls an event in itself.
Garstang has independent shops, walking routes and places to eat, and the Garstang Mystery Treasure Trail follows riverside and canalside paths from the Visitor Centre. With the dog, Wildpack's Garstang and the River Wyre Walk is 0.1 miles from the inn, and Fleetwood Beach, the dog friendly beach nearest on our map, is 9.9 miles away.
