1 / 8The Pheasant Inn
Hungerford, West Berkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 450 year old country inn at Shefford Woodlands near Hungerford, where a pair of dogs can share a room and a hamper of treats is waiting.
The Pheasant Inn borders the village of Shefford Woodlands and looks out over Berkshire's Valley of the Racehorse, a country inn that has been handing out hospitality for 450 years. The fourteen bedrooms come with it, individually designed around the heritage of the area, and here is a dog friendly inn that puts the numbers in writing: each dog friendly bedroom has space for up to two dogs, and a hamper comes with the room.
What the dogs get is that hamper, full of tail-wagging treats, with a bed or a blanket and a bowl. The boutique twin is on the ground floor. The house rules: no dogs to be left unsupervised at any time, a lead in all shared areas, and no sleeping on beds and soft furnishings.
Food here is pub classics and fish specials, a proper roast on Sunday, and a vintage leather bar stool in the snug if all you want is a pint. Where the dog fits into that the inn doesn't say, so settle it with the team before you reserve a table.
Highclere Castle and the North Wessex Downs are both within reach, the second of them a designated wonderland for walkers in the inn's own description, and Newbury Racecourse is the local fixture. The walking is around the chalk downland at Shefford Woodlands, and Hamstead Marshall and the Kennet Valley, one of the dog walks we list, is 4.6 miles away.
