1 / 8The Cedars Inn
Barnstaple, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in 3 dog friendly rooms.
A former country house hotel in Sticklepath, Barnstaple, with dog friendly bedrooms and a drinking bowl and the odd treat waiting for dogs.
Your dog gets a bowl of something at 0% ABV while you order something stronger at The Cedars Inn, a former country house in Sticklepath, Barnstaple. Landscaped gardens and a private courtyard surround the house, and Barnstaple town centre is a 20 minute walk away. This is a dog friendly inn that says outright that it loves dogs.
Three of the 37 bedrooms are dog friendly. Most bedrooms are set apart from the main house for a more secluded stay, and they keep to the residence's original style with a few modern additions. Dogs per room is a question for the booking, since the inn's pages don't say.
Dogs are welcome in designated dog friendly bar areas at the manager's discretion, and the team has a friendly welcome and the odd treat waiting for your dog. In the bar, the inn asks that you and your dog are considerate of other guests, and of other dogs, and that barking is kept to a minimum where possible. The bar and restaurant serve a traditional English menu with real ales, premium lagers and fine wines. Whether dogs can come through to the restaurant with you, the inn doesn't say, so raise it when reserving.
Desserts run to a pistachio choux bun and tiramisu. For a walk with the dog, Tarka Trail: Fremington Quay to Instow is 2.2 miles from the inn, and Saunton Sands sits 6.6 miles away as the nearest Wildpack listed dog friendly beach to Sticklepath.
