1 / 8The Hind's Head
Aldermaston, West Berkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A restored coaching inn in Aldermaston with 15 bedrooms, where well behaved dogs get the rooms set aside for them, two to a bedroom.
The Hind's Head is a restored coaching inn on Wasing Lane in Aldermaston, real ales on tap, fresh food and 15 boutique bedrooms. This dog friendly inn has the Berkshire countryside all around it, and selected bedrooms where a well behaved dog is welcome.
Two dogs can come to a bedroom. Only some bedrooms are pet friendly, so check availability when you book. The bedrooms sit within the original building, with plump pillows and flat-screen televisions, while the pub has a real fire and comfy sofas. On dogs left unattended in the room the inn does not say a word.
Classic British dishes come out of the kitchen cooked to order: pies with generous helpings of mash, a Wagyu and short rib steak burger from the local butcher, Vicars Game, hearty Sunday roasts and an array of daily specials. Fuller's cask-conditioned ales are on at the bar, London Pride among them. What the inn does not say is where a dog may sit at mealtimes, so ask at booking.
Breakfast comes with the room, and food runs from the morning through to the evening. Wasing Estate, a few minutes' drive, is a thousand acres of woodland and lakes with paths and trails for dog walking, hiking and horse riding, while Wildpack's Bucklebury Common sits 4.7 miles away. The inn puts itself forward as a base for walkers, hikers and nature lovers, which is the company a dog keeps best.
