The Seaburn Inn

Sunderland

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

A seafront inn at Seaburn, Sunderland, overlooking a bay of golden sands, where dogs can join you at every meal in its designated dog friendly areas.

Set right on the seafront, The Seaburn Inn looks out over Seaburn Beach, a bay of sprawling golden sands, with the promenade there for leisurely strolls. Its 40 airy bedrooms make a place to recharge beside the seaside, and this dog friendly hotel serves its pub food with a sea view, inside or out on the terrace.

Pet-friendly rooms are on the first and second floors, and your booking can include up to two dogs. By the inn's rules a dog isn't to be left unattended in the bedroom, so yours comes down with you, and that suits everyone, because dogs can join you for every meal, in the areas set aside for them.

At mealtimes your dog joins you in the dog friendly areas set aside in the pub and the dining spaces, where water bowls, treats and the Sir Woofchester's dog menu are on hand for four-legged guests. The inn is open all day, every day, for pub food and refreshing drinks, and the outdoor terrace gives you the sea to look at while you eat.

Some sea view rooms come with a balcony and outdoor seating, and the family rooms have bunk beds for children. When the dog wants a longer outing, Wildpack's Souter Lighthouse and Marsden Bay walk is 2.4 miles away, and the nearest sand on Wildpack's dog friendly list is King Edwards Bay, 5.9 miles from the inn.
