1 / 8The Thomas Lord
West Meon, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A restored village inn in West Meon, near Petersfield, where dogs get a bed, blanket, bowl and treats, and three walking routes begin or end at the inn.
Real ales, food from early morning breakfast to evening cocktails, and the rolling countryside of the Meon Valley all around: The Thomas Lord is a beautifully restored traditional village pub in West Meon, close to the market town of Petersfield. This dog friendly inn has walkers in mind, with three routes of its own that use the inn as their start or finish.
Designated bedrooms take up to two dogs each, where available, and every dog is given its own doggy bed, blanket and bowl along with a welcome box of tasty treats. The rooms have 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, a Nespresso coffee machine and tea, coffee and biscuits. One gap to fill before you go: the inn does not mention any rule on dogs staying unaccompanied in the bedroom.
Dinner is sorted for your dog with a full canine menu from Sir Woofchester's, from full dinner bowls to chews, dog friendly ice cream and alcohol free dog beer, and a hydration station keeps water ready after a long walk. The inn's pages don't say where a dog may lie at your feet during dinner, so ring the inn first.
For a gentle start, Vinnells Lane is one of the inn's own routes, easy going at around an hour and a quarter. Old Winchester Hill and Meon Valley Loop, which Wildpack lists, is 3.4 miles away, and if your dog fancies the coast, Hill Head Beach, the Wildpack beach nearest the inn, lies 15.0 miles away.
