1 / 8The Three Swans Hotel
Market Harborough, Leicestershire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A coaching inn in the heart of Market Harborough, standing since the 16th century and once host to King Charles I, with treats and gourmet meals for dogs.
King Charles I stayed at the Three Swans during the English Civil War, and the 16th century coaching inn still stands on the old coaching routes through the heart of Market Harborough, its triple swan emblem said to come from three landlords' signs. Low beams, an open fireplace and a courtyard sit alongside two restaurants, a coffee house and a bar. Under one roof, then, this dog friendly inn has plenty going on.
Two dogs can come per room, and the inn accepts small to medium sized dogs, based on availability; the hotel doesn't say which rooms they can use, so check when you book. Treats and a comfy bed greet each dog on arrival, and gourmet doggy meals can be ordered. The inn does not permit dogs to stay unattended in the bedroom for extended periods, nor at all once you are off the premises. The Deluxe Suite, the largest room, has a seating area for spreading out.
In the bar, where a proper pint awaits, dogs are welcome for a quick bite and conversation, and choosing pet friendly dining when you reserve gets you one of the tables kept for dogs. The candlelit restaurant is kept for more formal occasions and celebrations, and the menus are modern British with many ingredients sourced locally, from brunch and lunch through to the Sunday roast.
Market Harborough itself is a market town of Georgian charm and winding streets on the river Welland, and a base for exploring the Welland Valley. When the dog wants open ground, Wildpack's Foxton Locks and Grand Union Canal Circuit is 3.0 miles from the inn.
