The Elms Hotel & Spa

Abberley, Worcestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A country manor hotel in the Worcestershire countryside near Abberley, where dogs are welcome in Badgers restaurant, though not the spa or the Comfy Rooms.

Every area of The Elms Hotel & Spa welcomes dogs except the spa itself, and that goes a long way at a country manor in the Worcestershire countryside near Abberley and Kidderminster. It sets out to be stylish without ever being stuffy, and at this dog friendly hotel the request is a well behaved dog and a word to the team as you book.

Except for the Comfy Rooms, the bedrooms take dogs, so the choice runs from the classically beautiful Opulent Rooms, with king size beds and baths, to the Gladstone Suite, which has three bedrooms for families or groups. Rooms are individually styled, each with a nod to the hotel's artful personality. On numbers of dogs per room, and on leaving one in the bedroom unattended, the hotel doesn't say, so ask the team when booking.

Badgers, the hotel's one restaurant and bar, is open to dogs at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with proper comfy seats, British comfort food and quirky little touches. The Sunday roast comes with nibbles and starters, a choice of meats and sides, and desserts to finish, and there is a classically British afternoon tea too.

The Greenhouse Spa, a botanical spa behind the house, has an indoor swimming pool, an indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy pool, a sauna and two steam rooms, and it is the one place your dog can't follow you. There is a gym with a spin studio and an outdoor tennis court as well. Wildpack's Shrawley Wood walk is 5.0 miles away when the dog is ready for a good outing.
