1 / 8The Olde Ship Inn
Seahouses, Northumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A nautically themed inn above the harbour at Seahouses, with a bungalow, a cottage and an apartment that take dogs, and beaches steps from the door.
Since 1812 The Olde Ship Inn has stood above the fishing harbour at Seahouses, nautically themed and rich in local maritime connections. This dog friendly inn has the sea right there: the beaches north and south of the harbour, St Aidan's Dunes among them, are steps from the door.
The places to stay with a dog sit around the inn itself. Britannia Bungalow, at the back of the property next to the terrace, has its own entrance, two bedrooms and a living space with harbour views, and is meant for families and people travelling with their dog. Chapel Row Cottage has its own entrance too, with a hallway made for dumping sandy towels or wellies, then a kitchenette and a twin bedroom, and Fair Winds, a first floor apartment for up to four a short walk away, is a dog friendly self-catering choice. The inn's dog details don't mention its 12 bedrooms above the bar, so ask reception whether any take dogs.
The saloon bar and the adjoining Cabin bar have plenty of character, with stained glass windows, a scrubbed floor made from pine ship decking and walls hung with nautical artefacts, model fishing boats and a replica of the Seahouses lifeboat. Food runs all day, from freshly prepared sandwiches and homemade soup to three course evening meals, and the day's catch is very locally caught. This page doesn't mention the inn's seating for dogs at mealtimes, so ask the inn about that when reserving.
The Northumberland Coast Path starts right here in Seahouses and stretches over 60 miles. With the dog, the obvious first stop is Seahouses North Beach, right by the inn, which Wildpack marks as the nearest beach for dogs.
