The Greenway Hotel & Spa

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A 16th century Elizabethan manor house hotel and spa in Cheltenham, where dogs get a bed, bowl, toy and chew and can rest in the Drawing Room.

Set in eight acres of countryside grounds, The Greenway is a 16th century Elizabethan manor house hotel and spa in Cheltenham, out in the Cotswolds. For a dog friendly hotel, the useful part is that family-friendly walking trails start in the grounds themselves, so the first walk of the day begins as soon as you and your dog head out.

A selection of rooms take dogs, among them the Classic Lodge, the restored gatehouse at the end of the drive, a short walk from the main hotel. It has a private terrace, and can be taken as two bedrooms or booked exclusively for up to four people and their four-legged friends. Every dog arrives to a welcome letter, a dog bed, a bowl, a toy and a chew, and the team caters to every canine need. In the gardens and grounds you are asked to clean up after your dog. How many dogs may share is something The Greenway doesn't state, so check with the hotel when you book.

After a long walk, the Drawing Room is where your dog can settle for a well-deserved rest while you have refreshments or a light lunch. Dogs don't go into the Orchard Brasserie or the Garden Room Restaurant. The 3 AA Rosette fine dining restaurant cooks modern British food, wholesome and refined, from local produce, while afternoon tea comes to the Garden Room or out on the terraces.

The Elan Spa has a thermal suite of sauna, steam room, sanarium and hydrotherapy pool, with an outdoor hot tub in an enclosed spa garden, and there's a fully equipped gym. Wildpack has walks close by for the dog, with Crickley Hill Country Park Loop at 1.3 miles and Leckhampton Hill and Charlton Kings Common at 2.1 miles.

Facts checked October 2026 from the hotel's own website. Details can change, so please confirm anything important, especially the dog rules, with the hotel before you book.
