Is Bentinck dog friendly?

Yes, Bentinck welcomes one dog alongside a couple. The cottage has its own enclosed lawned garden — ideal for letting your dog out first thing or winding down together in the evening — plus access to an acre of shared landscaped grounds where a dog with energy to burn can have a run, supervised, when the space is free.

Are dogs allowed at Bentinck year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest your dog isn't welcome whenever you visit. If you're planning around dog-friendly days out, the nearby coast at Saltfleetby and Mablethorpe offers good beach access, though it's worth checking local seasonal rules for those spots before you go.

What should I know before visiting Bentinck with my dog?

Bentinck accepts one dog, so it's a stay suited to couples with a single dog rather than a multi-dog household. The cottage's own enclosed garden gives you a safe, private space for your dog, but the larger shared grounds — and the laundry room — are used by guests in the neighbouring cottage too, so you may find another dog out there. A welcome pack with doggy extras is included on arrival.

Two cottages share a quiet lane at Little Tathwell, side by side with open fields around them, and Bentinck is the one with the bath. A dog friendly stay for a couple and one dog, it is all on the ground floor, a few miles outside Louth at the point where the Lincolnshire Wolds begin.

Its garden is its own. A lawned plot enclosed round the cottage, with a patio and furniture on it, and it is the place to send the dog first thing and the place to sit with it after dark. Past that there is an acre of landscaped grounds shared with the neighbouring cottage, and a dog with energy to spare can have a run there under supervision, bearing in mind that the guests next door and their dog may be out there too. The laundry room is shared as well.

Indoors the space is one open room for living, dining and cooking, then a bedroom with a zip and link super king and a bathroom with a proper bath and a shower above it. It is the right cottage for a couple who plan to walk all day and soak at the end of it, then sit with the dog and the radio while the fields go dark. Doggy extras come in the welcome pack.

Louth is 4 miles off, and Hubbard Hills, the wooded valley on the edge of town, makes a good morning's walk with a dog. Further east the Lincolnshire coast opens up, with the dunes at Saltfleetby and the long sands at Mablethorpe, where there is room for a dog to run at low tide.
