1 / 8The Porlock Weir Hotel
Porlock, Somerset
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.
An adults only hotel overlooking the harbour at Porlock Weir on Exmoor, where dogs get a bed, organic treats and an outdoor shower for muddy paws.
Overlooking the historic harbour of Porlock Weir in Exmoor National Park, The Porlock Weir Hotel is an adults only retreat of 17 rooms, built around deep sleep, good food and a stretch of coastline and moorland to unwind in. With so many walks on its doorstep, the hotel reckons it would be a shame to leave your dog behind, and this dog friendly hotel is set up for them.
Most of the rooms take well behaved dogs, and each dog is given a doggy bed and a hamper of organic dog treats, with plenty of fuss and love from the team on top. An outdoor shower area has been added to wash paws after the day's adventure. The house rules are gentle: keep dogs off the beds, use the dog towels when you come back wet, and be mindful of other guests. How many dogs may come, and whether they can stay in the room without you, the hotel doesn't say, so ask as you book.
The kitchen buys as locally as it can and takes deliveries daily, and the Terrace Bar fires up a wood-fired pizza oven, all looking out over the weir. Where your dog can join you for meals is left unsaid: the hotel's pages don't mention the dining room or the Terrace Bar for dogs, so check before you sit down together.
The beds are tailor-made Hypnos. Ask at reception for the team's favourite local walks or an OS map for you and the dog, and on Wildpack, Porlock Weir and Porlock Marsh is listed 1.3 miles away, with Porlock Beach, our nearest dog friendly beach, at 1.4 miles.
