1 / 8The Turfcutters Arms
Boldre, Hampshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A traditional New Forest pub with rooms in East Boldre, right on the open forest, where well behaved dogs share the bar and walks begin at the door.
East Boldre sits right on the open New Forest, between Lymington, Brockenhurst and Beaulieu, and the Turfcutters Arms is a traditional New Forest pub with rooms in the village. Canine companions share the warm welcome here as long as they are well behaved, and with miles of off road walking from the door this is a dog friendly inn built around days in the forest.
The rooms are three self contained apartments with New Forest themed names, in a renovated barn beside the pub. Each has a private bathroom, a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave and a patio area of its own, and a full English breakfast with all the trimmings waits for you in the pub next door. The number of dogs each apartment takes is left open, since the inn doesn't say, so ask about yours when booking.
In the bar your dog is welcome as long as they are well behaved, and food is served indoors and outdoors every day. On where a dog can settle while you eat, the inn's pages don't say, so raise it when you call for a table. The Sunday roast offers three choices of meat and a veggie option, with cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings, and there is usually live music on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
The inn has mapped its own easy, fairly level forest walk of about 5 miles from the door, and it maps its routes for a reason: the forest has bogs that are hard to spot until too late. With your dog, Hatchet Pond & Beaulieu Heath, a Wildpack walk, is 0.8 miles away.
