1 / 8The Hanley Swan Inn
Hanley Castle, Worcestershire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A former coaching inn and gastro pub in Hanley Swan, with five guest rooms and dogs welcome in the bar, garden and at dog friendly tables.
Travellers once rested here with their horses, and The Hanley Swan Inn, a former coaching inn with roots thought to go back to the 17th century, is still at the centre of village life in Hanley Swan. Independently owned, with traditional wooden beams and cosy fireplaces, this dog friendly inn says plainly how much it loves dogs.
The five guest rooms are up a flight of stairs, four doubles with king size beds and one twin, all with an ensuite, and Plum has a view of the Malvern Hills. Treats and water bowls are kept on hand so your dog is looked after as well as you are. The inn doesn't state a limit on numbers, or whether one may stay alone in the room, so check those when you book.
About a third of the tables are in a designated dog friendly area, and the bar and garden take dogs too, so ask for one of those tables when you reserve. The kitchen cooks gastro pub meals from locally sourced ingredients, with meat from Knightwick Master Butchers and farmhouse loaves from Draper's Bakery in Tewkesbury for breakfast and sandwiches, and there is a fine selection of real ales. Breakfast comes from a gourmet menu with complete freedom of choice.
Local walking routes, from gentle strolls to invigorating hikes, lead through an area of outstanding natural beauty around the village. A little further afield, Wildpack's Upton Country Park and River Severn Walk is 3.1 miles away and the Croome Park Capability Brown Circuit 3.8 miles, if you and the dog fancy a change of scene.
