Book now with Booking.com

The Swan has stood directly opposite Wells Cathedral since it opened as a coaching inn in 1422, and inside there are still oak panelled rooms and original four poster beds. With 48 individually designed rooms in a city that lies beneath the Mendip Hills, it makes a dog friendly inn of real character for exploring Wells with your dog.

The hotel keeps particular rooms for dogs, two at most in each, so call directly to book one or leave a comment on your reservation. Your dog is welcomed with treats and a comfy bed, while you get premium linens, soft pillows and a Roberts radio. Ask on the phone about leaving your dog in the room on its own, as the hotel doesn't say.

Dogs are welcome in the Bar, which has all the hustle and bustle you'd want for a quick bite with drinks and conversation. For a table set aside for you and your dog, call the hotel directly. The kitchen cooks modern British food from local producers: homemade pies, vibrant veg with a proper bite and a Sunday roast with towering Yorkshire puddings. Afternoon tea brings finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam and mini patisseries, and the candlelit restaurant suits formal occasions and special celebrations.

The terrace looks directly across to the cathedral, and the Deluxe Suite, the largest room in the house, has a seating area and a few little extras. Wildpack's map puts Ebbor Gorge 4.4 miles away for a walk with your dog, with Burnham-on-Sea Beach, our nearest dog friendly beach to the hotel, at 15.4 miles.
