Black Lion Hotel

The Black Lion Hotel is a historic village pub in Little Walsingham, around four miles inland from Wells-next-the-Sea. Dogs are welcome inside throughout the bar and restaurant, so there's no need to leave them outside while you grab a pint or a meal. All tables are dog-friendly.

It's a handy stop if you're exploring the Norfolk coast with your dog and fancy a break from the beach bustle. The pub serves breakfast, drinks and meals in a proper village setting and the whole place feels grounded in local life rather than beachy tourism.

Parking is likely to be in the village centre rather than on-site, so factor in a short walk with the lead. It's a useful pit-stop for dog owners heading to or from Walsingham, especially when you need somewhere warm and welcoming that lets you and your dog settle in together.
