1 / 8The Cow
Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in 6 dog friendly rooms.
A 12 room boutique inn in rural Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire, where the dog friendly rooms open onto private patios, with dogs also welcome in the bar.
Six ground floor bedrooms at The Cow have their own external doors leading onto a private patio area, and those are the rooms where dogs stay. It makes this boutique inn in rural, peaceful Dalbury Lees a dog friendly inn.
Rooms 1 to 6 are the dog rooms, and dogs aren't permitted on the first floor. Let the inn know as you book that a dog is joining you, and dog beds and food can be provided on request. In return, keep your dog off the bedding and let the team know about any unfortunate accidents. The bedrooms are individual in shape, size and design, from Victorian and Art Deco accents to more modern New England looks, with locally made hand-crafted mattresses, Egyptian cotton bedding and Molton Brown toiletries. A limit on dogs per room is one detail the inn doesn't state, so settle that at the same time.
In the main bar area dogs are welcome, kept on their lead and under control throughout. On dogs at dinner the inn doesn't say a word, so raise it before booking a table. The cooking leans on the Cornish coast, with fish and seafood from Cornish dayboats brought up overnight, a specials menu that changes daily with what the boats brought in the day before, and prime Derbyshire beef, vegan and vegetarian options beside it.
The restaurant and bar area has been stripped back to reveal the heritage and character of the original 19c building. Breakfast is served seven days a week, and the rooms have a smart TV, a coffee machine, a mini bar and waffle bathrobes. When your dog has had enough of the patio, the Derbyshire and Peak District countryside is there to explore together.
