1 / 8The Manor at Sway
Sway, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
An Edwardian country house hotel built in 1906 in the New Forest village of Sway, near Lymington, with dog friendly rooms on the first floor.
Sway sits within the New Forest, a short drive from the coastal town of Lymington, and The Manor at Sway has stood here since 1906, an Edwardian house of large bay windows and gabled roofs set in three acres of landscaped gardens. This dog friendly hotel has miles of forest walking and cycling trails around it, and New Forest ponies often roam freely nearby.
The dog friendly rooms are on the first floor, and each takes two dogs at most unless you pre-arrange more with the hotel; dogs aren't permitted in the Cosy Loft rooms. Let the team know at the time of booking that a dog is coming, which saves any surprises on arrival. Rooms mix antique and contemporary furniture, with vintage-style telephones and skin friendly organic products in spacious bathrooms, and a full traditional breakfast is included.
Where your dog may settle at mealtimes the hotel doesn't say, so check before you book dinner or afternoon tea. The restaurant offers a contemporary take on classic British cuisine from locally sourced, regional produce, and the wine selection is chosen with local merchant Solent Cellar. The signature New Forest Afternoon Tea brings freshly made sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and jam, and delicate pastries, in the drawing room or on the terrace overlooking the gardens. The bar pours local ales, imported beers and ciders, with classic cocktails for an aperitif.
The hotel can arrange bikes dropped off at the hotel for your stay and riding excursions for beginners and experienced riders, booked ahead. Out with the dog, Wilverley Inclosure Walk, a Wildpack route, is 1.9 miles away, and Milford on Sea Beach, Wildpack's closest dog friendly beach to Sway, is 4.1 miles.
