1 / 8The Five Bells
Wrentham, Suffolk
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A country pub near Wrentham in Suffolk with three rooms in the old stable block, all of them dog friendly, and dogs welcome in the bar.
Open fires and wooden beams set the tone at The Five Bells, a characterful country pub just outside the Suffolk village of Wrentham, within easy reach of Southwold. Families and dogs are both welcome, and this dog friendly inn takes dogs in all three of its rooms.
The three en-suite rooms sit in the original stable block beside the pub, light and airy, with tea and coffee things, and the family room adds a single bed and a shower over the bath. Two things go unmentioned, a cap on dogs and whether one can stay behind alone; the inn doesn't state either, so ask before you travel.
Dogs are accepted in the bar area, though the inn doesn't say if they may sit with you while you eat, so check that too. The kitchen turns out home-cooked classics from coast to country with ingredients from the doorstep, and the bar pours Adnams cask and keg beers alongside Southwold-made spirits and a full wine list. Eat inside or out with views of the Suffolk countryside, where you're bound to spot a tractor or five.
There's a large pub garden with benches and plenty of room for children to play. The pub says there are some great local dog walks, and the shortest hop to a dog friendly beach on Wildpack is Covehithe Beach, 1.6 miles away, with our Walberswick Nature Reserve Circular Walk 4.3 miles off.
