1 / 8The Shireburn Arms
Clitheroe, Lancashire
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
An inn in the Ribble Valley village of Hurst Green, where dogs are allowed in the bar and dining room and countryside walks begin outside.
Muddy paws and wagging tails are part of the plan at the Shireburn Arms, in the heart of the village of Hurst Green in the Ribble Valley. Its 21 rooms are individually designed, the kitchen celebrates the Ribble Valley on the plate, and scenic countryside walks, rolling hills and sweeping views are there as soon as you step outside, which makes this a dog friendly inn with the walking built in.
All of the rooms take dogs, and the reservations team will add yours to your booking. The inn doesn't say what its limit on dogs per room is, nor whether a dog may stay in the room unattended, so raise both when you book.
Dogs are allowed in the bar area and the dining room, so they can join you for drinks and for dinner. The menus bring country pub classics to life with produce from local suppliers, alongside ever-changing specials, and behind the bar is a handpicked selection of wines, spirits and ales from Bowland Brewery.
The Tolkien Suite is centred on a four-poster bed draped in white fabric, with a separate lounge area, and the Valley Suite has a freestanding bathtub by the window looking across the Ribble Valley. With your dog, the Tolkien Trail from Hurst Green is just 0.1 miles off by Wildpack's reckoning, and Longridge Fell from Jeffrey Hill is 3.2 miles away when you want higher ground.
