The Rose & Crown

Merton, London

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A traditional 17th century pub with rooms by Wimbledon Common, where the dog friendly bedrooms bring a treat hamper and dogs are welcome out in the garden.

The Rose & Crown is a 17th century village pub with rooms, standing by Wimbledon Common with Wimbledon village moments away. There are 13 rooms just above the pub, and the dog friendly inn credentials start with the pub dog, who has been known to share his treats with visitors.

Dogs sleep in the dog friendly bedrooms, two dogs at most to a room. A hamper of tail-wagging treats comes with the room, along with a bowl and a doggy bed or blanket, and you are welcome to bring the bed they already love. Some rooms have space for a doggy bed or two, so say what you need when you book. The lead stays on in the shared areas, and the hotel asks that dogs are never left unsupervised.

The pub welcomes well behaved dogs, and dogs are welcome out in the garden, which makes this a popular stop after a walk on the common. The kitchen turns out British pub classics, fish specials and Sunday roasts, with real ales at the bar and Young's original in the covered garden. The hotel doesn't say whether the restaurant is open to them, so put the question when you reserve a table.

The largest room has a freestanding rolltop bathtub, and the rooms come with an honesty bar, a snack basket and a Nespresso machine. Dogs have Wimbledon Common on the doorstep, and Wimbledon Common Windmill and Queensmere Circular is 1.0 miles away on our map, with Morden Hall Park and the River Wandle at 2.2 miles.
