1 / 8The Craster Arms
Beadnell, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Grade II* listed pub in Beadnell whose rear incorporates the remains of a medieval tower house, with dogs welcome in the bar, restaurant and outdoor areas.
The back of The Craster Arms is the remains of a medieval tower house dating from at least 1587, and the rest of the building was added in the 18th century, when it was used as a coaching inn. Today it is a hotel, bar and restaurant on The Wynding, right in the heart of Beadnell Village, and a dog friendly inn that welcomes dogs during every service hour and on overnight stays alike.
The rooms are light, airy and spacious. Room 1 is a lower level suite with extra living space, comfy seats and a dining table, and Room 2, on the middle floor, has double aspect windows with a view over to St Ebba's Church. House rules keep dogs on a lead at all times and off the furniture and soft furnishings, blankets meant for people included, and ask that they don't jump up at anyone. The inn doesn't state how many can share a room, so check that at booking.
Inside and out, dogs are welcome: in the bar, the restaurant and the outdoor areas. The pub also has outdoor dining pods and a huge beer garden. This is a busy coastal pub and restaurant with plenty of charm and history, its visitors ranging from returning holidaymakers and walkers to live band enthusiasts. The house also asks that your dog doesn't share food from your plate or block the walkways.
Beadnell Bay, listed on Wildpack as a dog friendly beach, sits 0.2 miles from The Craster Arms, and Wildpack's Farne Islands Ferry to Seahouses Coastal Walk is 1.9 miles away. Room 3, a spacious double with a walk in shower, is made for a romantic getaway on the North Northumberland Coast.
