1 / 8The White Hart Hotel
Moretonhampstead, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Georgian posting inn from 1775 in Moretonhampstead, on Dartmoor, where dogs get a bed, bowl, towel and treat bag and a canine menu of their own.
Moretonhampstead is a market town within Dartmoor National Park, and on The Square stands The White Hart Hotel, founded in 1775 as a posting inn. Today the Grade II-listed Georgian building is an independent hotel of 28 rooms, each one as unique as the next, and a dog friendly inn that holds that dogs and Dartmoor go together.
Well behaved dogs on leads are very welcome, and each one is given a dog bed, a bowl, a towel and a treat bag. The hotel asks that you keep your dog under control and on a lead as a courtesy to other guests, keep it off the furniture, and not leave it unattended in your room. Its pages don't state which of the rooms dogs can use, nor a limit per room, so check both when you reserve.
Your dog gets a menu of its own here: The Canine Menu runs to rabbit, venison and boar treats, all grain free, high in protein and hypoallergenic. The hotel doesn't say if dogs may join you in the restaurant or the bar, so ask before you sit down to eat. The kitchen cooks hearty, home-cooked food from fresh regional ingredients, from breakfast to the evening menu, and the hotel keeps at least two real ales on draught alongside ciders from local Devon cideries.
There is a games room with a pool table and dart board, and a cupboard of board games in the lounge. For walks with the dog, the hotel has a walking routes leaflet and staff happy to suggest more around Moretonhampstead, and Wildpack's Teign Gorge Circular Walk is 0.7 miles away.
