The Red Lion at Hellidon

Daventry, West Northamptonshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in 2 dog friendly rooms.

A village pub in Hellidon, Northamptonshire, with six quirky letting rooms, a cosy log fire and a dog friendly snug, where dogs sleep in Kimba or Tawny.

Kimba and Tawny are the two rooms at The Red Lion where well behaved dogs may sleep, and the pub itself has a cosy log fire and a dog friendly snug. It sits in the village of Hellidon in Northamptonshire, with Daventry, Banbury and Rugby all close by, and freshly prepared food and welcoming hospitality are what this dog friendly inn prides itself on.

Your dog may sleep in either room, though not on the beds, and arrives to a water and feed bowl, a poo bag and a welcome chew. Let the pub know about your dog when you make the booking. One of the six rooms looks out over Hellidon's country fields, and another has peaceful views of the lake opposite. Ask at booking about dog numbers per room too, which the inn doesn't state.

Eating with your dog is a gap in the inn's information, as it doesn't say where a dog may sit for meals; raise that when reserving a table. The chefs use freshly sourced produce from local suppliers, with everything prepared on site each day, and the menu runs from fine dining to traditional pub classics. Locally brewed ales sit alongside trendy cocktails, and Sunday lunchtime brings Bloody Marys.

The self catering cottage has two ensuite double bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge/diner and a private garden, for a weekend with family or friends. The inn names only Kimba and Tawny as rooms for dogs. Two of Wildpack's walks give your dog a longer outing: Badby Woods and Fawsley is 3.5 miles away, and Napton Hill and Oxford Canal Walk 3.6 miles.
