1 / 6Tarr Farm Inn
Liscombe, Somerset
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A 1600s inn right by the historic Tarr Steps on the River Barle in Exmoor, where dogs are given blankets, feed bowls and towels.
Tarr Farm Inn dates from the 1600s and stands in the heart of Exmoor National Park, right by the historic Tarr Steps clapper bridge on the River Barle. This dog friendly inn has red deer, Exmoor ponies and otters among the wildlife around it, and the inn says it welcomes four legged friends as well as families.
Your dog is welcomed with dog blankets, feed bowls and towelling, and there is a firm rule: dogs may never be left unattended in the room. The inn's own pages don't say which of the nine rooms suit dogs or how many may come, so raise both before booking.
Food is the inn's pride, with a hearty menu in the cosy bar, a full a la carte in the more formal restaurant, Sunday roasts and cream teas, all from fresh, local produce. Whether dogs can come into the bar or the restaurant with you, the inn doesn't say, so check before booking a table with your dog.
The rooms are fresh and contemporary, with locally made organic bath products, power showers, full size baths and Egyptian cotton sheets, and the inn is accredited as an Exmoor National Park Partner. Tarr Steps Circular is a Wildpack walk 2.6 miles from the inn, and Porlock Beach, 9.7 miles away, is the nearest of Wildpack's dog friendly beaches to Tarr Farm.
