The occasional cow wanders past The Bear of Rodborough, a 17th century former coaching inn within 300 acres of National Trust land near Stroud. Rodborough Common is on the doorstep, with miles of walks and plenty of scents to explore, and that is what makes this dog friendly hotel such an easy fit for a dog.

Dogs stay in a selection of specially allocated Country Rooms, the ground floor rooms in the adjoining country house; the Superior rooms in the main house and the Deluxe Four Poster Suite aren't pet friendly. Let the hotel know about your dog when you book so one can be reserved. Each dog gets a bed and a bowl, and even a sausage at breakfast. The hotel doesn't say what its dog limit per room is, or its rule on a dog left behind while you head out, so raise both as you reserve.

Dogs are welcome to join you in the bar and the garden. The Library Restaurant is closed to them, and over a meal the hotel doesn't mention where else your dog can join you, so confirm it when booking. In The Bear Bar you can sink into an armchair by the fire with cask ales, hot chocolate or homemade cakes, and the Pavilion Garden Bar keeps Caboodle treats for dogs back from a walk on the common. The kitchen cooks locally sourced British classics, from a hearty breakfast to a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

The rooms have cosy beds, warm furnishings and vibrant artwork, and some of the Superior rooms look across Rodborough Common and Woodchester Valley. Wildpack's Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons Loop is 0.9 miles away and the Woodchester Park & Lakes Circular 2.8 miles, both good outings with the dog.
