Yes. Dogs can stay in 7 dog friendly rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Cotswold country house hotel and spa near Malmesbury, with 12 acres of gardens and a meadow by the river for dogs to explore.
Whatley Manor is a country house hotel and spa near Malmesbury, tucked into the southern Cotswolds and set in 12 acres of gardens with a meadow by the river. Well behaved dogs over a year old are welcome to roam the gardens and settle by the fire, and this dog friendly hotel hands you a welcome letter with walking routes, a garden map and ideas for dog friendly outings nearby.
Seven rooms are dog friendly, allocated on request, so tell the team about your dog at booking. Each takes up to two dogs (say in advance if yours is larger than a Labrador) and comes properly equipped, with a bed sized to suit your dog, food and water bowls and a toy. Dogs are kept on a lead or harness in the hotel and formal gardens, and the hotel's pages differ on whether the meadow is off the lead, so ask when you book. While you dine or have a spa treatment, your dog may stay in the room, provided it isn't for an extended period and you remain on the property.
Dinner with your dog means Grey's menu or afternoon tea in the drawing rooms, so say so when booking and the team will set aside a spot; dogs aren't permitted in The Dining Room or in Grey's itself. The Dining Room holds a Michelin star, its menus built from what the land gives at its best, while Grey's is built around sharing plates and long, easy meals.
Every stay includes full use of the Aquarias Spa, with an indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy pool, a thermal suite with a steam grotto and infrared sauna, and heated stone recliners. When you're back from a treatment, the walking routes in your dog's welcome letter are there for the afternoon.
