1 / 8The Fox
Much Wenlock, Shropshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A 400 year old inn on the High Street in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, where dogs stay free and there's a complimentary biscuit for the asking.
The Fox has stood in Much Wenlock for 400 years, a family run inn at 46 High Street in this historical Shropshire town. Dogs stay free at this dog friendly inn, and there's a complimentary biscuit for yours if you ask the team.
There are newly refurbished en-suite bedrooms, and breakfast is included in the stay. Which bedrooms suit a dog, and how many dogs can come, are details the inn's pages don't state, so pin them down before you arrive with yours.
The kitchen sets out varying menus every day, cooking with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and there is an extensive drinks offering to suit all tastes. Food is served at lunchtime and in the early evening on weekdays, and from breakfast time on Saturday and Sunday. What the inn's pages don't state is a rule for dogs at mealtimes, so ask when you ring to book a table.
When your dog is ready for open country, Wildpack's map has Wenlock Edge 2.2 miles off and Ironbridge Gorge at 3.8 miles for a longer day out together.
