The Orange Tree

Thornham, Norfolk

Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.

An inn with rooms in Thornham on the North Norfolk coast, where most rooms take dogs, with a doggy menu and dog friendly tables.

There's a log fire at The Orange Tree, a dining pub with rooms in Thornham with the North Norfolk coastline right on its doorstep. This dog friendly inn keeps a doggy menu of its own and rooms for four-legged friends, on the principle that no one should be left behind.

Most of the rooms take dogs, so double check at booking that you've reserved one of them. All seven rooms in Manor Lodge are dog friendly, and Bloomer, a ground floor suite in The Old Bakery with its own conservatory, takes dogs too; the first floor rooms of The Old Bakery can't, because of their carpets. Bloomer also has a large, fenced, private garden. Dogs aren't to be left in the room for any length of time, or allowed on the beds.

To eat with your dog, pick the Dog Friendly option when you book a table, as those tables are limited to specific areas, and the inn also has a dedicated doggy menu. The kitchen works with local ingredients, the menus are constantly changing, and Sundays bring a roast with all the trimmings, while the bar pours local ales and beers alongside wines and spirits.

There's a children's play area with slides and climbing equipment, and alfresco tables in the garden. The sand is close for your dog: Thornham Beach is 0.8 miles away and is the first dog friendly beach on Wildpack's map from here.
