The Hope & Anchor Restaurant, Bar & Rooms

Ross on Wye, Herefordshire, County of

Yes. Dogs can stay in 3 dog friendly rooms.

A riverside pub and inn in Ross-on-Wye with three pet-friendly rooms, two of them looking over the river Wye, and dogs welcome in the lower bar.

Down by the river in the market town of Ross-on-Wye, The Hope & Anchor brings together a traditional pub, the Pavilion café and bar, the Hut on the riverside and 12 recently refurbished en-suite rooms. The pub sells itself on charm and a warm welcome, four-legged friends included, and the dog friendly inn makes a riverside base for exploring the Wye Valley.

Three of the 12 rooms take pets. One is a Classic Double, and two are Classic Riverside Double rooms, comfortable with views of the river Wye, so in those two you and your dog can wake up to the water. Each of these comes with an en-suite shower, a Smart TV and a tea and coffee tray. On numbers, the inn does not state a limit per room, so ask before you arrive.

Dogs are allowed in the lower bar area of the pub. The pub is cosy and traditional, with decor inspired by the river and a great selection of beer, wine and spirits. Lunch and dinner come from a homemade pub menu using locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast is served in the Pavilion, which also does brunch, pre-booked afternoon teas and cocktails; the inn's pages do not say if dogs can come in there with you, so ask before you sit down.

The Hut sells cakes, hot drinks and ice creams for those on the go, weather permitting, and the hotel lists a dog water station. The stretch tent and bandstand host live music and family friendly events. When the dog wants a longer outing, Wildpack's walks nearby include Coppet Hill from Kerne Bridge, 3.4 miles away, and Goodrich Castle and the River Wye at Ross, 4.5 miles away.
