1 / 8The Woburn
Woburn, Central Bedfordshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A village inn in Woburn with 48 rooms and seven cottages, a limited number of the rooms for dogs, plus a canine menu at the bar.
The Woburn sits at the heart of Woburn Village, an eighteenth-century hotel that is part of the Duke of Bedford Estates with 48 rooms and seven cottages just across the courtyard. What makes it a useful dog friendly inn is the walking: the inn has put together a series of walks from its own door, which is most of what a dog asks of a base.
A limited number of rooms are kept for dogs, so the booking call matters. Those rooms come with doggie treats, a comfy bed and blanket and a water bowl ready. Dog numbers, and time left alone in the room, are things the inn doesn't mention, so settle them on the same call.
In the bar areas well behaved dogs are welcome, where the full menu is still served, and a canine menu of full dinner bowls is on offer for them. The Tavistock Bar runs to cocktails, real ales, fine wines and gins, and the restaurant has an open kitchen, Mediterranean in flavour, breakfast and brunch carrying right through to the evening. Neapolitan pizza comes out of a wood-fired oven.
Rooms hold a Roberts DAB radio, a Nespresso machine and Bramley toiletries, and the fire in the bar is where the coffee and the daily paper happen. Woburn Abbey and Woburn Safari Park are the big draws nearby, and the dog's share of it all is the inn's own set of walks, which start at the door.
