The Ring O' Bells

Compton Martin, Bath and North East Somerset

Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.

A 16th-century village inn in Compton Martin with an inglenook fireplace and two refurbished bedrooms, both of them dog friendly, near the Mendip Hills.

In the heart of Compton Martin, The Ring O' Bells is a traditional village pub with a history dating back to the 16th century, and inside are dark wooden beams, wooden flooring, stone walls and a large inglenook fireplace. Chew Valley, Blagdon Lake and the Mendip Hills are all within easy reach, which makes this dog friendly inn a natural place to rest after a day of walking.

There are two newly refurbished bedrooms, Compton and Ubley, and both are dog friendly, subject to availability, so tell the team your dog is travelling with you when you book. Each has countryside views, super comfy beds, Bramley toiletries and an ensuite with shower, and breakfast is included. On dogs per room and on leaving yours behind while you eat, the pub's pages don't state a rule, so ask about both when booking.

The menu centres on locally sourced ingredients and pub classics, with local Butcombe beer and cider behind the bar, and outside there is a huge beer garden with a play area for children. Whether a dog may keep you company over a meal, indoors or out in that garden, the pub doesn't say, so ask ahead.

Cheddar Gorge is among the attractions close by, and Black Down and Beacon Batch from Burrington Ham, on Wildpack's list of walks, sits 3.3 miles from the pub for a longer outing. For sea air with the dog, Weston-super-Mare Beach lies 13.9 miles away, the first beach Wildpack lists as dog friendly from here. Back at the pub, look out for live music and events through the year.
