1 / 8The Hadley Bowling Green
Droitwich, Worcestershire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 16th-century Elizabethan pub with rooms in Hadley Heath near Droitwich Spa, with water bowls, treats and a spacious garden for dogs.
Beside the spacious beer garden at The Hadley Bowling Green lies a bowling green of real age, part of a 16th-century Elizabethan inn in Hadley Heath, in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside near Droitwich Spa. It sets out to give you and your dog the quintessential British pub experience, and with 12 ensuite bedrooms it is a dog friendly inn you can stay in as well as eat and drink at.
Size decides the count: a room takes one large dog of Labrador size and up, or a pair of small dogs no bigger than a Springer Spaniel. Leave the room together, though: an unattended dog in the room isn't allowed, so plan your outings with your dog in tow. Water bowls and treats are part of the welcome, and the garden gives your dog space to settle. Which rooms are dog rooms the inn doesn't say; flag your dog at booking.
The pub is dog friendly, but the inn doesn't state where your dog may sit for brunch, lunch or dinner, so raise it with the staff while making the reservation. The menu brings exciting takes on pub classics alongside more sophisticated dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, Butcombe craft beer and cask ale are behind the bar, and an award-winning breakfast is included with your stay.
Worcester, Birmingham and the Malverns are within easy reach. Around the inn, the staff can recommend popular routes and hand you maps, with rolling fields around Hadley Heath and canals nearby for walking with your dog. Further afield, Wildpack lists Shrawley Wood at 3.8 miles and the Hanbury Hall Estate Circuit at 4.6 miles.
