1 / 8The Black Horse Inn
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A village pub of over 250 years in Blyton, near Gainsborough, with a designated dog friendly area for food and beer and six en-suite rooms.
For over 250 years The Black Horse Inn has been the village pub in Blyton, on the A159 around four miles from Gainsborough. The inn welcomes dogs and would rather you brought yours than left it behind. It is a dog friendly inn, then, for anyone crossing Lincolnshire with a dog in the back seat.
Six air conditioned en-suite rooms sit in a separate building, and dogs can stay by prior arrangement, so say so at the time of booking. The inn asks that all paws stay on the floors. Ask about dog limits per room, and about a dog staying in it without you, when you arrange the stay, as the inn doesn't say.
Inside the pub there is a designated area where you can enjoy good food and beer with your dog beside you. The kitchen serves freshly prepared food from fresh local ingredients, with a Lunch Club menu on weekdays, a main menu and a Sunday menu. On the bar, Bateman's XB, Gold and a guest ale sit alongside Guinness, Aspall and the lagers.
It is a traditional country local, and one of the rooms has accessible facilities with ramp access. Insurance conditions mean the inn can't accept children, so a stay here is for grown-ups and their dogs.
