1 / 8The Trout at Tadpole Bridge
Faringdon, Oxfordshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in 3 dog friendly rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A riverside Butcombe inn deep in the West Oxfordshire countryside, with three rooms that take dogs, towels by the door and the bar and garden open to dogs.
The Trout at Tadpole Bridge sits deep in the West Oxfordshire countryside near Faringdon, surrounded by rolling fields and the River Thames, a Butcombe boutique inn done out in classic Cotswold style. It is thorough about being a dog friendly inn: dogs come into the bar and the garden, and the Thames Path runs from the pub door.
Dogs go in three of the six rooms, reached through the bar or straight in from the riverside garden. Two small dogs are allowed, or one large one. Dog beds and bowls are available, so enquire when you book, and the pub keeps water bowls, treats and towels by the door. In the room, a dog is not to be left unattended.
The main restaurant is not suitable for dogs, but they are welcome through the rest of the pub: the bar, select dining areas and the garden. Food runs all day and leans on local produce, with pub classics and Butcombe beer on the taps; Sunday roasts are field to fork and come with Bloody Marys, board games and indulgent desserts.
The six rooms are tucked away in a quiet courtyard, each named after a fishing rod, with vintage furnishings, showers or claw-foot tubs and king-size beds, and one has a rolltop bath, a sofa seating area and a private terrace. Dog walkers and ramblers treat the place as a base, and the Thames Path National Trail heads west along the riverbank from the pub.
