1 / 8The Ostrich Inn
South Creake, Norfolk
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A restored 1800s village pub with rooms in South Creake, North Norfolk, where dogs stay in rooms with their own private terraces and treats on hand.
The Ostrich Inn is a beautifully restored 1800s village pub with rooms in the peaceful village of South Creake, a short drive from Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham Beach and the North Norfolk coast. Traditional design meets modern comfort in the rooms, and the inn sets out to be a base for coastal breaks and walking holidays, and this dog friendly inn puts coast and countryside both within easy reach of you and your dog.
Dogs stay in the inn's designated pet friendly rooms, where fresh water and doggy treats are ready for them. Bay Tree is a ground floor accessible room with a super king bed and its own private terrace, Rosemary has a king bed and a private terrace on the ground floor, and the Lavender rooms each have a double bed and a private terrace too. The Ostrich Suite and the first floor rooms don't take pets, so book one of the designated rooms when your dog is coming.
The bar welcomes dogs, and arriving guests are invited to drop their luggage early and relax there. The Ostrich doesn't mention dogs where meals are served, so check when you reserve a table if you'd like yours alongside at dinner. The kitchen keeps its focus on fresh local food, with locally sourced ingredients and classic pub favourites; the chefs prepare everything fresh each day, and most of the menu is gluten free as standard.
With miles of coastline and countryside to explore, the inn is confident your dog will enjoy the stay as much as you do. Holkham Estate Woodland & Parkland Walk, among the walks Wildpack lists near South Creake, is 4.8 miles off, and the closest beach Wildpack rates as dog friendly, Burnham Overy Staithe Beach, is 5.4 miles from the inn.
