Pubs with rooms: ask about dogs
These inns let dogs into the bar or garden and also have bedrooms. They don't publish a policy for dogs in the rooms, so ask first.

These are cottage booking sites we have an affiliate deal with. We don't check their cottages the way we check the places on this site, so read each cottage's pet rules and fees before you book. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes what we list or how we describe a place.
