Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A 17th-century coaching inn in Mellor in the Ribble Valley, where dogs settle down in front of the fire in the bar and dog friendly rooms are available.
Dogs settle down in front of the fire in the bar at The Millstone, a 17th-century coaching inn at the foot of the Ribble Valley in the village of Mellor. This dog friendly inn has home-cooked food made from scratch, modern boutique bedrooms and the rolling hills, farming communities and wildlife of the Ribble Valley all around.
Dog friendly rooms are available on request, and the inn keeps dedicated dog free rooms for guests who prefer them. Bring your own dog bed and towels out of consideration for the other guests, and make sure your dog is clean and dry before coming into the inn. Rooms come with Hypnos mattresses and White Company toiletries, and breakfast is included. On a second dog, or on leaving yours in the room during dinner, the inn doesn't say; raise both when you book.
Dogs are more than welcome in the bar area, though not in the restaurant or the dining only areas. The bar, with its open fires and great atmosphere, is where you and your dog eat together. The kitchen cooks hearty dishes from scratch with local, fresh produce, the blackboards carry daily specials and chef's favourites Afternoon tea runs daily from midday with 48 hours' notice; the hotel doesn't say where it is served, so ask if you want your dog with you.
Witton Country Park Circular, Blackburn, is 2.4 miles away for a walk with the dog.
