Dog Friendly Stays in Shropshire
Bring the dog. Seriously.
Finding somewhere that's genuinely dog friendly — not just technically pet-tolerant — is harder than it should be.
At The Baiting House, dogs are properly welcome. Our owners Kate and Andrew have several of their own, so we know what it actually means to travel with a dog, and we've made sure the experience works for them as much as it does for you.
Where your dog can go
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and in at least one of our dining areas — so you won't be banished to eat outside in the cold while your dog sits watching through the window. Our rooms are all pet-friendly, but the ground floor rooms (11 & 12 and out Garden Studio are ideal).
What we Provide
Every overnight canine guest gets a comfortable dog bed, a water bowl, and a welcome biscuit on arrival. Poo bags and dedicated bins are available on the patio, and there's plenty of green space right on the doorstep for morning walks, evening wanders, and everything in between.
We charge £15 per dog for the stay — a one-off additional cleaning fee, not a nightly charge.
The walking
The Hopton Crown sits at the edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB - walkable right from our front door with footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes in every direction. Whether your dog is a committed five-miles-before-breakfast type or more of a gentle-amble-then-back-for-a-snooze type, there's walking to suit. Check our local area guide for recommended routes and nearby spots worth exploring.
