1 / 8The Moorland Hotel
Haytor, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country hotel built in 1887 beneath Haytor on Dartmoor, where the bar welcomes dogs and the Tin Pickle and Rhum serves pub favourites.
The Moorland Hotel was built in 1887 to welcome Victorian visitors drawn to Haytor Rocks, and it still sits at the heart of rugged Dartmoor below Haytor Rock, with panoramic views of the moor. This dog friendly hotel is part of the Signature Collection, which welcomes dogs with treats and a comfy bed, and the moor around it is made for walking together.
Dogs stay in the Superior and Classic Double rooms, which can be made dog friendly on request, for a maximum of two dogs. Call the hotel directly or leave a comment on your reservation to ask for a dog friendly room, or a table where your dog can join you. Ask about time alone in the room for your dog when you call, as the hotel doesn't state its rule.
Breakfast is served in the restaurant or the bar. It's the bar where dogs are welcome, so that is where you and your dog start the day, and in the evening the rustic Tin Pickle and Rhum serves classic pub favourites from 6pm with furry friends welcome. The cooking is about bold simplicity, from homemade pies to vegetables with a proper bite, with meats from Bailey and Sons of Devon, free-range poultry from Sladesdown Farm in Ashburton and fish that arrives daily from Brixham. Sunday centres on the roast, with Yorkshire puddings and the chef's own gravy.
Afternoon tea is served too, and coffee comes roasted on Dartmoor by Voyager. On Wildpack's map, Haytor Quarry and Tramway Trail lies 0.9 miles away and the loop of Haytor and Hound Tor Circular just 0.6 miles, so you and your dog can be out on the moor soon after breakfast.
