1 / 8The Crown Hotel
Lynton, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
Restored and back at the centre of Lynton, this 17th-century inn on the edge of Exmoor welcomes well behaved dogs in its bar areas and selected bedrooms.
Muddy boots and well behaved walking dogs are always welcome in the bar at The Crown Hotel, which remains the beating heart of this 17th-century inn in the centre of Lynton. Carefully restored as the village pub and hotel, on the edge of Exmoor and moments from the North Devon coastline, it is a dog friendly inn where locals, walkers and visitors mix easily over a good pint.
Well behaved dogs can stay in selected bedrooms, so mention yours when you book. There are fifteen rooms in all: the standard rooms have plush bedding and a full en suite with bath or shower, while the Signature rooms on the ground floor have a freestanding bath tub, a king size bed and a complimentary gin and tonic. The inn's pages don't mention a cap on dogs per room, nor leaving one alone in it, so ask before you travel.
Your dog can settle with you in the bar areas, but the inn doesn't state if it can come into the restaurant, so ask about it before reserving a table. The food is rooted in West Country produce, from fresh seafood off the coast to carefully sourced meats and local cheeses, and the bar is well stocked with local ales, good wines and classic cocktails. Breakfast is served each morning, and there is a terrace for lunch or a leisurely afternoon drink.
Lynton sits high above the North Devon coastline, with dramatic cliffs, winding coast paths and moorland within easy reach. The dog has a choice of walks close by: Wildpack's Lynton, Lynmouth and Watersmeet Circular is 0.1 miles away and the Valley of Rocks Coastal Loop 0.9 miles away.
