The Hunters Inn (Newton Tracey)

Barnstaple, Devon

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

Six rooms at The Hunters Inn in Newton Tracey, four miles from Barnstaple, some of them dog friendly, with a full English breakfast included.

Six rooms over two floors sit at the heart of The Hunters Inn, a traditionally British pub at Newton Tracey, four miles from the market town of Barnstaple. Four legged friends get a warm welcome here, and this dog friendly inn encourages you to bring yours along.

Some of the rooms are dog friendly, so ask for one when you book, and pack your dog's own bed or blankets, as the inn asks guests to bring them. The rooms come with either two single beds or a superking, a large shower and quality toiletries. The Hunters Inn doesn't say how many dogs a room takes or whether one can be left on its own, so check both while booking.

Breakfast is a full English, included in your stay and served next door in the pub, with local free range eggs, back bacon and gluten free pork sausages among the choices, plus cereals, croissants and toast. Sunday is carvery day. If dogs can join you at the table for breakfast or the carvery, the inn doesn't say, so put that question to the team too.

If you're celebrating, the inn can have flowers, chocolates, wine or champagne waiting in your room, and the team will happily suggest things to do in North Devon. Wildpack's Tarka Trail: Fremington Quay to Instow lies 3.9 miles from Newton Tracey, and Westward Ho! Beach, 6.6 miles off, tops Wildpack's list of nearby dog friendly beaches.
