1 / 8The Falcon Inn
Painswick, Gloucestershire
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A family run Cotswold inn opposite Painswick Church on the Cotswold Way, with eleven boutique bedrooms and dogs welcome in every one of them.
Established in Painswick in 1828, The Falcon Inn stands opposite Painswick Church, right on the Cotswold Way. Today it is a family-owned and run Cotswold inn with a restaurant, a bar and 11 boutique bedrooms. Every one of those bedrooms is open to dogs at this dog friendly inn.
That means you can pick the room for the trip rather than for the dog. The Suite is a spacious room with an emperor-sized four-poster bed and views of the historic church, and the bedrooms are finished with crisp linen and local timber framing, with rolling views across the Painswick valley from the inn. Dog numbers per room, and leaving one by itself, are left out of the inn's pages, which don't state a rule on either, so raise them at booking.
The restaurant and library serve a menu that changes through the year around locally sourced ingredients, with classic British flavours and carefully selected wines, and the kitchen's aim is honest cooking, done exceptionally well. On the last Thursday of every month, Locals' Night brings a special menu and live music to the private Shires dining room. The inn's pages don't mention dogs at mealtimes, so ask about a table with your dog when you reserve.
The walking starts close by. Wildpack's Cotswold Way: Painswick to Sheepscombe Loop is 0.2 miles away and Painswick Beacon 0.3 miles, so your dog won't wait long for a proper walk. The inn also points guests to Painswick Rococo Garden and Woodchester Vineyard.
