The Anglers Arms

Alnwick, Northumberland

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

A traditional inn at Weldon Bridge, between Morpeth and Alnwick, with a dog friendly cottage, rooms upstairs and its own private stretch of the River Coquet.

The Anglers Arms is a traditional pub at Weldon Bridge, Longframlington, between Morpeth and Alnwick, with its own private stretch of the River Coquet for guests who like to fish. It keeps a cottage for families with dogs as well as bedrooms upstairs, and this dog friendly inn is well placed for exploring Northumberland.

Not all the rooms are dog friendly, so say you are bringing a dog when you book; up to two dogs per room can come along. River Cottage is the self-catered dog friendly choice, sleeping up to four in a twin and a double bedroom. It has an open plan kitchen and dining area, a cosy living room with two comfortable sofas, and its own private garden and conservatory. Upstairs in the pub, the en-suite doubles and the twin come with dressing tables and plasma televisions.

Meals are cooked fresh to order from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, some from the farms on the pub's doorstep, from a quick sandwich at the bar to a la carte dining in the newly refurbished restaurant. Sunday roasts come with Yorkshire pudding, duck fat roast potatoes and creamy mash, coffee and cake are served all day, and there is a new covered terrace for eating outdoors. The inn's pages don't say where your dog can sit with you for a meal, so ask the team when you book.

Staying guests can add a fishing permit when booking online, bringing their own equipment and an Environmental Agency licence, with three rods out at any one time. For days out with the dog, Wildpack's Cragside Estate Circular Walk is 4.6 miles away and Simonside Ridge 5 miles.
