South Causey Inn

Stanley, County Durham

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A countryside inn in County Durham's Beamish Valley, with its own woodland spa and a welcome for dogs in the bar, the snug and the dining pods.

A restored 1960s fire engine turned outdoor cocktail bar tells you a fair bit about South Causey Inn, a countryside inn in the Beamish Valley with characterful buildings, individually styled rooms and its own Woodland Spa. It is a dog friendly inn built on the idea that no family member should be left behind, four-legged ones included, so your dog is expected in the bar and snug as well as in selected rooms.

Those selected rooms are dog friendly and must be booked in advance. The inn's rooms run from cosy doubles to luxury suites, all with a private en-suite bathroom. On which of them take dogs, on numbers per room and on leaving a dog alone in it, the inn doesn't say, so raise them when booking.

Your dog can come with you into the bar, the snug, the Dining Pods and the Beamish areas, and to the Hotspot Fire Engine Bar on the evenings it opens, a restored 1960s Bedford TK serving food, drinks and cocktails. The bar works on a walk-in basis with no reserved tables, while a Dining Pod can be booked ahead. Portions are generous, and the Sunday menu comes in four portion sizes, up to super-large servings.

The Woodland Spa has TEMPLESPA massages, facials and top-to-toe treatments, and private Wellness Suites with a steam room, sauna and hydrotherapy whirlpool, and a private balcony with sweeping valley views. With the dog, Causey Arch and the River Team Walk, one of Wildpack's, lies 1.1 miles off, and when you want sand, King Edwards Bay is Wildpack's closest dog friendly beach at 13.9 miles.
