1 / 8The King’s Head Hotel
Ross on Wye, Herefordshire, County of
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.
An independently owned historic inn on the High Street in Ross-on-Wye, brewing its own Corn Ales, where most of the fifteen rooms take dogs.
Ales from its own microbrewery, Corn Ales, are poured in The King’s Bar under oak-beamed ceilings, on original wooden floors: The King’s Head Hotel is an independently owned historic inn at 8 High Street in Ross-on-Wye. With most of its fifteen rooms open to dogs, it is a dog friendly inn right in town, and the hotel also owns the old Corn Exchange, now a brewery tap and event space.
The hotel asks you to let it know in advance that your dog is coming. This being an old building, no one room is exactly the same as another, though each has a full en-suite with either a shower over a bath or a walk-in shower. Dog numbers and time alone in the room are the two things to raise on that call, since the hotel doesn't state its rule on either.
Food is served in three settings: the newly refurbished conservatory restaurant, where the chefs cook with locally sourced, market-fresh produce; The King’s Bar, with hand-pulled real ales and homemade bar bites; and the library, lined with shelves of books, which turns candlelit for dinner in the evening. The hotel doesn't say either way if your dog may join you at any of the three, so ask about that too. Every stay comes with a full Wye Valley breakfast.
The Four Poster Room sits at the tranquil rear of the hotel on the first floor, with a fully refurbished travertine en-suite and a power shower. For time out with your dog, Wildpack's walks include Coppet Hill from Kerne Bridge, 3.3 miles away, and Goodrich Castle and the River Wye at Ross, 4.4 miles away.
