Book now with Booking.com

The Bear stands at the top of Esher High Street and has housed travellers for over three centuries, nine boutique bedrooms over a pub known for its Sunday roasts. All nine rooms are dog friendly, so the dog friendly inn label is literal here, and Hampton Court Palace and Sandown Racecourse are both close by.

The welcome is a hamper stuffed with treats, a bowl and a blanket or bed of their own, and your own can come too if the dog sleeps better on it. Two to a room is the maximum, the lead goes on in all shared areas, and dogs are not to be left unsupervised at any time; the house rules also ask that they stay off beds and soft furnishings.

Breakfast is a generous table of pastries, juices, cereals and fruit, with hot options and bean-to-cup coffee, and the kitchen turns out pub classics: crispy fish and chips, hearty pies, bangers and mash and a slow-cooked Sunday roast. Where a dog can sit at mealtimes the inn doesn't say, which is worth a question when you book a table.

The bedrooms are country style, with an honesty bar stocked with treats and tipples, a Nespresso machine and Bramley toiletries. Each one has room for a dog bed or two. Bushy Park Diana Fountain and Ponds Circular, 3.2 miles off, is the Wildpack walk nearest here.
