1 / 8The Merry Harriers
Hambledon, Surrey
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country inn with rooms in the village of Hambledon, where dogs get a welcome pack with a bed and bowl and the shepherd huts take them too.
The Merry Harriers has been welcoming guests in the village of Hambledon since the 16th century, oak beams and a roaring fire still in place, in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The dog friendly inn part of it comes down to specified rooms, the shepherd huts across the road among them.
A doggy welcome pack arrives with any dog that comes, a bed and a bowl included, which is that much less to load into the car. The shepherd huts sit around a peaceful fish pond, each with a firepit and marshmallows for roasting. The inn does not say how many dogs come to a room, nor anything about leaving one there unaccompanied.
Food is the thing here: the menu changes daily, guided by what is fresh from the team's own farm, with refined takes on comforting pub favourites and sharing plates built for a long, slow table. Surrey ales sit alongside a cocktail list and a wine selection that showcases local vineyards alongside timeless classics. Whether a dog can sit at the table with you, The Merry Harriers does not say, so put the question at booking.
Views from the rooms run over the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and two of the inn rooms can be booked together as a family suite. Hankley Common Heathland Walk, which Wildpack maps, lies 4.8 miles off, a proper outing for the dog, and the inn's own local list includes the Greensand Way.
