A pub stay with a story to tell
A Chef & Brewer hotel is far more than just a bed for the night. Our pubs with accommodation are steeped in rich, storied history, with plenty of comfort and character. Stay in a centuries-old coaching inn, a seaside haven, or a remote bolthole tucked snugly away in the hills. These unique spaces have all the charm of a boutique hotel but without the hefty prices.
Many of our dog-friendly pubs with rooms are nestled in perfect walking country. Enjoy instant access to a myriad of locations, trails, fields and pretty riverside rambles near our charming riverside pubs. The Wheatsheaf Hotel in Virginia Water is a brilliant example. A dog-friendly pub with accommodation nestled on the edge of a lake within Windsor Great Park. Explore miles of trails right on the doorstep.
Love a long day spent out exploring? Followed by a lovely Sunday roast, a pint, and the simple joy of resting somewhere cheerful and welcoming? It’s these little rituals that make our pubs the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to. Again and again.

Idyllic walks to stretch your legs
Did somebody say walkies? Our dog-friendly hotels are a dream come true for walkers and dogs alike. Pick your way along paths through ancient woodland. Stop to listen to the soft murmur of meandering rivers and follow hidden routes through fields and farmland. Each dog-friendly hotel opens the door to new adventures for you and your canine chum.
Our countryside pubs sit right in the heart of some of England's finest walking country. The Dog House Hotel in Oxfordshire is surrounded by lush greenery, a place where you don’t want the walks to end. Wherever you stay, a great route is never far away. Many even have EV charging on site if you need it. So, the only range of distance you need to think about is on the trail you do first.
You’ll find plenty of local walking advice at your chosen pub. Plus, thanks to our partnership with AllTrails, getting into the great outdoors has never been easier. Whether it’s a gentle morning jaunt or an all-day trek, the scenery never disappoints. No doubt, your dog will enjoy leaving every muddy pawprint along the way.
Tips for travelling with your dog
A little prep goes a long way to making your dog-friendly hotel stay truly stress-free. Here are a few things worth packing and planning before you head off.Before you go
Bring your dog’s own bed or blanket. Familiar smells make a new room feel instantly cozier for dogs who are not seasoned travellers (yet). Pack enough food and any medication, along with a favourite toy, because everyone loves their own comforts.On the road
Keep water topped up on longer journeys, and plan regular comfort breaks. Most of our pubs are within easy reach of walking routes, perfect for stretching your legs before checking in. If your dog gets car-anxious, a calming spray or familiar item can help settle nerves.Settling in
Let your dog explore the room before getting comfy yourself. They'll want to sniff every corner (it's non-negotiable). Keep them to their own sleeping spot from night one and bring their usual feeding bowl. Small routines help enormously.The charm of a boutique hotel
Who says you have to rush back? Turn a walk and a pint into a true weekend escape by booking a room at one of our dog-friendly hotels for a little longer. Our pubs are made for slowing down, with menus that tempt you to stay at the table a little longer, leisurely lunches and rooms that feel like a home away from home. Take your time uncovering new walking spots, or simply enjoy an afternoon in the garden, drink in hand and dog napping nearby. With your bed just upstairs, everything’s easier. It’s all part of the joy of a Chef & Brewer dog-friendly hotel, where the great British countryside is right on your doorstep.
