The Falcon Inn

Long Whatton, Leicestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in 4 dog friendly rooms.

Eleven rooms above a village pub in Long Whatton, Leicestershire, where four of the Superior King rooms take dogs and dogs are welcome in the bar.

Long Whatton's Falcon Inn is a village pub with eleven rooms above it, a restaurant and real ales from Everards of Leicestershire. Here is a dog friendly inn with an easy way about it: your dog can come down to the bar with you, and East Midlands Airport is under ten minutes away for the first or last night of a trip.

Rooms 1 to 4 are the ones that take dogs: four of the Superior King rooms, newly done with a king bed and Nespresso on tap. Whatever the plan for the evening, a dog here is never to be left unattended in the room. When you ring to book, the inn promises that a person picks up; ask about numbers and size on that call, because the hotel doesn't say how big a party of dogs, or how big a dog, it takes.

Downstairs, the bar is where your dog is welcome while you try the real ales; the hotel doesn't mention dogs at mealtimes in the restaurant, so check that before you book a table. The kitchen cooks with fresh ingredients from nearby farms and regional suppliers, there is a cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and a Sunday Roast for Two can be added to any stay.

Outside there is a spacious beer garden and patio with its own outdoor bar. Donington Park and the M1 are minutes away, so the inn makes an easy break in a long drive with the dog, and family days out lie within half an hour's drive.
