The Full Moon Inn

Frome, Somerset

Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.

A Grade II listed country inn from 1642 at Rudge near Frome, where dogs can stay in all five rooms.

The Full Moon Inn started life as a humble off-sales cider house and grew over the centuries into a Grade II listed country pub dating from 1642, in its own quiet corner of Somerset near Frome with views of the Westbury White Horse. It calls itself dog-friendly, family-friendly and horse-friendly, and this dog friendly inn welcomes four-legged guests in every one of its five rooms.

Those rooms were renovated with luxury and comfort in mind, each with a walk-in shower, Bramley toiletries, a workspace and a mini fridge stocked with juices and fresh milk. The classic rooms have far-reaching views of the Mendip Hills over the pub gardens, and the family room has a large standalone double bath. What the inn doesn't state is what number of dogs a room can hold, or whether they may be left on their own, so check before you go.

The inn doesn't say if dogs can join you in the snug bar or the dining room, so check before reserving. Much of the produce comes from the inn's own kitchen garden and the residents of Rudge, the Ploughman's platters carry Cheddar and Somerset Brie, Penleigh sausages are a breakfast favourite, and Sunday lunch comes with all the trimmings.

Guests can use the private gym on site for an extra charge, and the bar pours local ales and ciders. For walks with the dog, Wildpack's Farleigh Hungerford Castle and River Frome Circular is 4 miles away, and the Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp Circular 4.5 miles.
