1 / 8The White Hart Hotel
Lincoln, Lincolnshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A boutique hotel on Lincoln's cobbled Bailgate, between the castle and the cathedral, with dogs welcome in its Colonnade and Gibson bars.
Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle both sit just steps from The White Hart Hotel, which has stood on the cobbled Bailgate, in the oldest part of the city, since the 14th century. This dog friendly hotel suits a city break with your dog: the hotel points to plenty of green open spaces nearby, the cathedral among them, so you can take in the history while your dog gets a good walk.
Dogs stay in specified rooms, two well behaved dogs at most in any one of them, among 49 bedrooms that pair contemporary comfort with the character of the old building. Leigh Pemberton House adds four more rooms with exposed beams and period architecture, and the Brownlow and King Edward suites have separate living rooms and freestanding bathtubs.
Both the Colonnade and Gibson bars are dog friendly. At mealtimes, The White Hart doesn't say if dogs may stay at your side, so raise it when reserving. The Gibson Club Bar is a nod to the Dambusters 617 Squadron, with drinks and light bites from the all-day menu, while the Colonnade pairs signature cocktails with afternoon tea and plates from the same menu. Antlers Restaurant holds two AA rosettes for menus built on Lincolnshire's local producers.
Spa treatments can be booked in the hotel's Treatment Rooms. For walking, Lincoln Cathedral and the River Witham Walk is 0.1 miles away and Hartsholme Country Park Lake Loop 1.9 miles away, both on Wildpack's map, so your dog has a choice of morning routes.
