The Tynemouth Castle Inn

Tynemouth, North Tyneside

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.

A 72 room inn overlooking Longsands Beach in Tynemouth, where dogs share mealtimes with you and find water bowls, treats and their own dog food range.

Longsands Beach sprawls below The Tynemouth Castle Inn, which holds a commanding position on Grand Parade with the North Sea in view and Tynemouth village close by. Sea views, coastal walks and easygoing pub hospitality come together across 72 bedrooms, some of them suites, and this dog friendly hotel sits right on the shores of the beach, and you can step out of the inn straight onto the sand.

Dogs can stay overnight, up to two of them, and the inn asks you to say when booking that a pet is coming so it can make sure of availability. Dogs are never left unattended in the bedrooms here; instead they join you for your meals, which is half the fun.

In the pub, the designated dog friendly areas have water bowls, treats and a range of Sir Woofchester's food for dogs waiting, so your dog eats while you do. The menu runs from hearty breakfasts and light lunch bites to Great British pub classics, all handmade and cooked to order, with daily specials made from locally sourced ingredients and a Sunday lunch menu built for slow Sundays.

The outdoor terrace looks out to sea, the grand bar has a cosy interior, Cones Ice Cream Parlour is inside the inn, and Tynemouth Priory and Castle are close by. Tynemouth Longsands, closest on Wildpack's map, lies 0.1 miles away, so read its Wildpack page on dog access first, and Wildpack's Cullercoats to Tynemouth Coastal Walk is 0.6 miles away, for a longer stretch along the coast with your dog.
