Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:
2 Sept 2026
The Cotswold Motoring Museum in Bourton-on-the-Water welcomes dogs inside its galleries, making it a rare indoor day out where your dog can join you while you browse vintage cars, memorabilia and motoring history. The museum occupies a converted mill building and offers a substantial visit with multiple displays—perfect for rainy days when you'd rather not leave the dog in the car. Dogs are welcome throughout the museum, so you can explore the collection together without splitting up or waiting outside.
It's a short-to-medium-length attraction that works well as part of a wider Cotswold day out, especially if you're combining it with a riverside walk in Bourton-on-the-Water. The museum is open daily from 10am to 6pm, with last admission at 5.15pm.
There's no confirmed on-site parking, so plan for public car parks or street parking nearby. It's a paid attraction and dogs go free.
Good to know:
Water bowls available
Free treats available
Doggy menu available
Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the museum. The official site confirms dog access but does not list specific room-by-room restrictions, so it's worth checking on arrival if you have any questions.
