An 18th century farmhouse hotel outside Chard, where dogs find a Welcome Box in the room and share every meal with you in the bar.

Book now with Booking.com

A complimentary Welcome Box sits ready in the room when your dog arrives at The Lordleaze Hotel, an 18th century farmhouse on the outskirts of Chard, on the border of Dorset and Devon. Lush farmland encircles this dog friendly hotel, and every window has a countryside or garden view.

Certain bedrooms can be booked for a well behaved dog, and your dog is welcome in the hotel garden and the bar. The rooms come with a Smart TV and informative guides for planning the day, and there's a four-poster suite too, so ask whether it is one of the dog rooms. Dog numbers and leaving your dog unattended: on both, the hotel doesn't say, so put them to the team at booking.

Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant or, given a dog's love for sausages, the breakfast room; you're welcome to eat all your meals in the bar with your dog instead. The bar is no hardship: its gastropub classics come with a traditional open fireplace, the kitchen holds an AA rosette and the Taste of the West Gold Standard award, and craft ciders, ales and cocktails come from producers like Lyme Regis Brewery. Treats for dogs wait in the bar too.

Dozens of walking routes begin on the doorstep or lie further out across Dorset, East Devon, Lyme Regis and the Blackdown Hills, and at the end of the day you can curl up with your dog in the cosy bar over a gin. Charmouth Beach, 9.4 miles away, heads Wildpack's list of dog friendly beaches near Chard.
