1 / 8The George Hotel
Dorchester on thames, Oxfordshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 15th century coaching inn facing Dorchester Abbey in Oxfordshire, with dog friendly rooms, treats and a comfy bed, and dogs welcome in the Bar.
Built in 1495, The George is a survivor of England's coaching age, its gabled timber façade and galleried courtyard still greeting travellers, facing Dorchester Abbey across the road in the middle of the village. Oak beams and open fires are still here too, and your dog is welcome in this dog friendly inn.
Dogs sleep in selected rooms, which the hotel asks you to arrange by telephone, and up to two can share. The hotel's dog welcome takes in treats and a comfy bed, and its dog page mentions gourmet doggy meals. The hotel doesn't state whether dogs can be left unattended in a room, so settle that on the same call.
For a meal with the dog, select pet-friendly dining when you book a table, or eat in the Bar, where dogs are welcome amid the hustle and bustle. The kitchen is modern British and locally sourced, homemade pies and towering Yorkshire puddings on a Sunday, with local brews and wines chosen for taste rather than label.
Rooms run from a four poster to a deluxe suite and a cottage with two separate bedrooms and a kitchenette, all with premium linens, a Roberts radio and premium biscuits. Afternoon tea is finger sandwiches, scones and mini patisseries with a choice of premium teas. Wittenham Clumps, a Wildpack walk, is 1.1 miles away for the dog, and Wallingford Castle Meadows and the Thames Path 3.5 miles.
