1 / 8The Bulls Head
Castleton, Derbyshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A historic pub with five en-suite rooms in Castleton, looking out over Mam Tor and Peveril Castle, where dogs are welcome for a drink or a meal.
Five en-suite bedrooms look out over Mam Tor and Peveril Castle from The Bulls Head, a historic pub in Castleton at the head of the Hope Valley, in the Peak District National Park. Castleton is ringed by walking routes for all levels, and this dog friendly inn says plainly that it loves having dogs join in.
Some of the rooms are dog friendly, so there's no need to leave your four-legged pal at home, and the pub aims to make you and your dog feel right at home. Rooms are doubles and twins with comfortable beds, a tea and coffee corner with fresh milk from reception, and a continental breakfast to start the day. Nothing on the website covers a cap on dogs per room, and it doesn't say if one may stay alone there, so ask at booking.
In the pub, dogs are more than welcome, for a quick drink or a meal. The menus are built on traditional dishes, freshly prepared with locally sourced produce, and the bar keeps a good range of cask beers, lagers, wines and spirits. There's no booking a table, so arrive early when it's busy.
Outside there's a seating area for a drink in the fresh air. The hills start almost at once for you and your dog: Wildpack's Lose Hill and Back Tor from Castleton is 0.1 miles away, and Mam Tor and the Great Ridge from Castleton is 1.2 miles off.
