1 / 8The Red Lion Inn
Long Compton, Warwickshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A Grade II listed Cotswold inn in the village of Long Compton, where every room takes dogs and the restaurant serves a menu for dogs.
Every bedroom at The Red Lion is named after a much-loved family dog, and the walls carry characterful artworks of four-legged friends, which tells you a good deal about the place. Built as a coaching inn in 1748, it is a Grade II listed Cotswold inn in the heart of Long Compton, surrounded by countryside and just down the hill from the Rollright Stones. This dog friendly inn has been run by dog lovers for many years.
All seven rooms take dogs, and each dog gets its own bowl, towel and mat to use for the stay. The rooms are individually styled, with Egyptian cotton bed linen, fluffy towels and handmade shortbread for your tea. There's plenty of fuss and treats for dogs, a guide to local dog-related services, and the inn may even ask to feature your dog as one of its weekly WoofWednesday stars on Facebook. The Red Lion doesn't state a limit for dogs per room, so mention yours when booking.
The bar is the place to start, with oak beams, log fires, high-backed settles and an open inglenook fireplace, and the bar and restaurant are dog friendly throughout, so your dog can stretch out by the fire while you eat. The restaurant also serves a menu for dogs. The kitchen cooks Cotswold pub food from locally sourced ingredients, from light bites to hearty evening meals, with local ales and a locally distilled Cotswolds gin behind the bar.
The inn sits on the northern edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there's an indoor games room that keeps big kids entertained. For a walk with your dog, Wildpack's Rollright Stones and Little Rollright Circular is 1.1 miles away.
