1 / 8The Fox @ Ibstone
High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country pub with rooms in the Chiltern Hills village of Ibstone, where dogs are as welcome in the bar as the walkers and cyclists.
Ibstone is a village in the Chiltern Hills and The Fox is its pub, a proper country local where muddy boots and two wheels count for as much as the pint. The Fox is a dog friendly inn of the unshowy kind: dogs are part of the charm, and they tend to get more attention than the people who brought them.
Two dogs can share a room, and there is no charge for them. One rule is firm: dogs are never to be left in the room unaccompanied. In practice the dog comes with you to the bar. Rooms have king-size beds, some with extra space, and the look is soft bedding and calm neutral tones.
The bar is where your dog settles in. There is a pint of something local on offer, and the pub promises a relaxed, no-fuss atmosphere. The hotel doesn't state where dogs can eat with you, so ask about dinner together when you book. Strangers become regulars here, by the pub's own account, over another round.
The suites are on the ground floor, with patio doors opening onto the gardens. The walking is the real draw for a dog: Wildpack maps the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve Talking Trail 2.1 miles from here, and Watlington Hill and the Ridgeway 2.6 miles out.
