1 / 8The Joiners Arms
Chathill, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in 2 dog friendly rooms.
A village pub and inn in the heart of Newton-by-the-Sea, with two bedrooms that welcome dogs, water bowls on hand and dog beers in beef or chicken.
Dogs of every kind are loved at The Joiners Arms, a village pub and inn in the very heart of Newton-by-the-Sea, made from the ground up with a homely feel. It opens every day for country food and drink, and with the coast and country all around, this dog friendly inn has plenty to offer anyone walking with a dog.
Two of the bedrooms are dog friendly, so call the booking team, who will tell you which rooms they can offer and the little extras laid on for you and your dog. Features across the bedrooms include timber beams, Juliet balconies and statement centrepiece bathtubs, alongside king-sized beds, fluffy robes and locally sourced in-room treats. Sebastia has a Juliet Balcony and French doors that open it to the Northumberland coast.
Inside the pub, dogs stay on a lead, off the furniture and with their owners at all times. Keep them from jumping up at anyone; if barking won't settle you may be asked to step outside, and aggressive dogs aren't tolerated. The inn can also provide bowls brimming with water, or a dog beer in beef or chicken for the adventurous. The kitchen cooks honest, home-style food with a Northumbrian twist from local growers and producers, though the inn's guidelines don't mention dogs at restaurant tables, so ask when you book. The menus run to a chippy tea, with takeaway fish and chips too.
Newton-by-the-Sea, 0.9 miles away, is the beach Wildpack lists as closest for dogs, and the inn's pages suggest walking off a Sunday roast along the dunes. Embleton Bay, one of our walks, is 1.8 miles off.
