1 / 8The Dundas Arms
Kintbury, West Berkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A canal side inn in Kintbury where the five riverside rooms all take dogs, with beds and bowls on request and space in the garden to flop.
The Dundas Arms is a country pub with rooms in the village of Kintbury, standing between the River Kennet and the Kennet & Avon Canal in rural Berkshire. The dog friendly inn part of it sits at the water: each of the riverside rooms takes dogs, and the garden has room for one to stretch out while you drink.
Those five riverside rooms have a private terrace apiece, close enough to the canal to watch its wildlife over a coffee, and upstairs there are three more doubles plus a deluxe suite with a free standing rolltop tub. Dog beds and bowls come on request, and the team asks you to flag the dog when you reserve a room. A limit on numbers the inn does not state, and nor does it mention a dog left in a room alone.
The kitchen works with the rivers, farms and fields around it, and Sundays bring roasts made from field to fork ingredients, Bloody Marys, board games and indulgent desserts. Behind the bar sit cask ale, craft beer, local cider and a wine list. Where a dog can be while you eat the inn does not say, though there is plenty of space for one in the garden.
Butcombe comes from the garden bar at the riverside beer garden. Hamstead Marshall and the Kennet Valley lies 1.0 miles away and Walbury Hill and Combe Gibbet 2.8 miles, both of them on Wildpack's map and both reasons to have brought the dog.
