1 / 8The Bear’s Paw
Warmingham, Cheshire East
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Victorian inn in Warmingham, Cheshire, where dogs are welcome at your side in the AA Rosette restaurant and stay with a comfy bed and local treats.
The Bear's Paw is a 19th century Victorian inn in the farming village of Warmingham, set in rolling Cheshire countryside between the market towns of Sandbach, Middlewich and Crewe. This dog friendly inn has a host of great walks on its doorstep, ones you'll enjoy just as much as your four-legged friend.
Dogs can stay over too, and each dog added to your break comes with a comfy dog bed and a welcome pack of locally sourced, premium dog snacks. The 17 bedrooms are boutique in style and en-suite, with flat screen televisions and media hubs, and the superior rooms have a super king size four poster bed. Which rooms take dogs, the number allowed and time alone in the room all go unanswered; the inn doesn't state them, so ask at booking.
Dogs are welcome alongside you in the AA Rosette restaurant. Its menus marry traditional British fare with influences from international cuisine, all made with local produce, and the setting is charming country inn decor with comfortable seating. On the bar, six real ales from local micro breweries take centre stage, next to wines from around the world and 16 single malts.
The inn sees itself as a pit-stop for cyclists, dog walkers and ramblers, and its Three Walks from The Bear's Paw leaflet gives inspiration for local walks. Wildpack's Dane Valley Way (Middlewich Section) is 3 miles away.
