The Anchor Inn

Lower Froyle, Hampshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in 2 dog friendly rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

An 18th century country pub with rooms at Lower Froyle in Hampshire, where two bedrooms named after literary greats take dogs and the beer garden welcomes them.

A pint by the fireside with your dog settled at your feet is the welcome at The Anchor Inn, set on a quiet country road in the heart of Hampshire at Lower Froyle and surrounded by rolling green fields. This 18th century pub doubles as a countryside dining room with ensuite bedrooms. Dogs count as part of the family at this dog friendly inn.

Two of the rooms, Robert Graves and Wilfred Owen, are dog friendly, so tell the team about your dog at booking; they can provide dog beds and bowls on request. A room takes up to two small dogs (Springer Spaniel size or smaller) or one large dog (Labrador size or larger), and dogs must not be left unattended there. The bedrooms sit in the main building, with Tudor-style beams, antique furnishings and a stacked bookshelf, and have an ensuite power shower.

Spaces throughout the pub are set up so your dog is as at home as you are, from a hearty homemade meal to a pint of local ale. Staff are on hand with bowls of fresh water and dog treats, and with waste bags if you run short. The menu is traditional pub food made from local produce, and Sundays bring roasts with field-to-fork ingredients, Bloody Marys and board games, with cask ale, craft beer and local cider behind the bar.

Outside, the spacious beer garden suits dogs and is set up for eating and drinking outdoors. For a longer walk with your dog, Wildpack's map puts Alice Holt Forest 3.2 miles off.
