Dogs at The Sidcot Arms are allowed in the garden and in every non-carpeted part of the pub, which says a good deal about the welcome at this dog friendly inn in the historic Somerset village of Winscombe. Behind its grand Victorian front are a cosy bar and restaurant and 31 en-suite bedrooms, with Cheddar Gorge and Bristol close by.

A number of the bedrooms are dog friendly, with two dogs at most per bedroom, so call or email and the team will allocate one when you book. Dogs can't stay unattended in the rooms, and in the public areas they keep their leads on. The bedrooms themselves come with air conditioning, tea and coffee making, a work space and comfortable beds, and there are family rooms for a bigger party.

The kitchen keeps things freshly home-cooked, using locally grown or reared produce wherever possible, from burgers, pies and curries to pizza, with Sunday roasts popular enough to book ahead. Dogs keep you company in the bar area or out in the pub garden, kept on a lead, so mention them when you reserve a table. The pub is a free house, with real ale from independent brewers and Thatchers cider.

The inn has put together five circular walks from The Sidcot Arms, and there's a large garden and a spacious terrace to come back to. With your dog in the car, it's 1.7 miles to Crook Peak, a Wildpack walk, and 7.0 miles to Weston-super-Mare Beach, which Wildpack's map marks as the nearest dog friendly beach.
