The Slaughters Country Inn

Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A country inn in Lower Slaughter on the River Eye, with designated dog rooms, a dog bed and water bowl laid on, and grounds open to dogs.

Pull up a chair for a pie and a pint by the fireside, or take lunch out on the terrace: The Slaughters Country Inn sits in the village of Lower Slaughter on the banks of the River Eye, where winding lanes meet open Cotswold countryside. This dog friendly inn welcomes dogs to enjoy the grounds and the local walks, and walking maps of the area are available when you want to plan a route.

Dogs stay in designated rooms, arranged by calling Reception, and each dog has a dog bed and a water bowl provided. In the public areas dogs are kept on a lead, with dog bins provided for you to use. A dog can be left in your room for a short time; the hotel asks you to inform Reception. Dogs aren't permitted in the lounges, though guide dogs and accredited assistance dogs are welcome throughout.

Dogs aren't permitted in the lounges. The main restaurant is closed to dogs too, and the hotel doesn't say whether they can come into the country pub-style bar, so that's a question for Reception. The kitchen cooks throughout the day, from leisurely lunches to supper worth lingering over, with classic pub plates, a sharing platter of cheeses, meats, breads and house pickles, Cotswold produce and a line-up of local ales. Wednesday is fish night, with beer-battered fish, mushy peas and tartare sauce.

The Superior Rooms pair roll-top baths and separate showers with garden views, and the Classic Rooms keep their exposed beams. Wildpack's Bourton-on-the-Water to Lower Slaughter walk lies 1.2 miles away, while the inn's walking maps of the local area open up more days out with your dog.
