Washingborough Hall Hotel

Lincoln, Lincolnshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A Grade II listed Georgian manor house hotel in Washingborough, east of Lincoln, with dogs allowed into the bar, the snug and the front grounds.

Three acres of mature gardens and woodland surround Washingborough Hall Hotel, a Grade II listed Georgian manor house in the heart of Washingborough village, east of the historic City of Lincoln. Well-behaved dogs are welcome through much of the house, so this dog friendly hotel gives yours plenty of space: the main hallway, reception, the bar and snug, your bedroom and the front grounds are all open to them.

When you book, mention your dog so the hotel can allocate a dog friendly bedroom, as only some rooms are pet friendly. The twenty bedrooms are individually styled, with homemade shortbread and Arran toiletries, and range up to the Churchill Suite. Your dog stays leashed and under control throughout, and there's a dog waste bin in the grounds. The hotel is quiet and relaxing, so it can't take very vocal dogs, and staff may ask for a dog to leave a busy public area while food is being served.

Dogs are never allowed in the main Dining Room restaurant, though they can join you in the bar and snug. The Dining Room has sash windows looking across the lawns and holds two AA rosettes, with dishes like twice-baked cheese soufflé and Lincolnshire fillet steak, and afternoon tea is on the menu too.

The hotel suggests a walk around Boultham Park with your dog, and on Wildpack's map Lincoln Cathedral and the River Witham Walk is 2.6 miles away.
