1 / 8The Waddington Arms
Waddington, Lancashire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country inn at the centre of Waddington in the Ribble Valley, where dogs are welcome in the restaurant and bar and in plenty of the rooms.
Stone buildings, babbling brooks and the sweeping landscapes of the Ribble Valley surround The Waddington Arms, a country inn standing proudly at the centre of the village that gives it its name. It is full of welcoming charm, and as a dog friendly inn it opens both the restaurant and the bar to dogs, so your dog is part of the whole visit.
Plenty of the rooms are dog friendly, and your dog is added to the booking by contacting the reservations team. The rooms are styled with soft linens and inviting furnishings, and they make a warm retreat after a day wandering villages or exploring the countryside with your dog. The inn doesn't mention a cap on dogs, nor whether one can be left in the room on its own; the reservations team will know.
A table in the restaurant or a seat in the bar works just as well with a dog at your feet, since both are dog friendly. Food and drink sit at the heart of the place, with menus that bring together comforting country pub favourites and flavour-led dishes, all made with care and unapologetically delicious ingredients, and the doors are open from midday until late every day of the week.
Room 9 is an apartment suite with a cosy kitchen area and living space alongside the bedroom, and the spacious pub garden is a place to relax with friends and family. When the dog wants a proper outing, Pendle Hill from Downham Village is 3.5 miles away on our map, and Tolkien Trail from Hurst Green is 4.6 miles away.
