Crows Nest Inn

Crows Nest Inn is a welcoming Swanage pub just north of the town centre, where dogs are welcome inside the bar area. It's a handy stop for anyone combining beach walks with a proper drink and a meal and the easy-going atmosphere makes it simple to settle in with a dog at your feet.

The pub sits close to the Ulwell Road side of Swanage, with street-side parking nearby and the seafront within easy reach. Dogs are allowed in both the bar area and the garden, so you've got options whether the weather's kind or the paws need drying off.

It's the sort of place that works for a quick pint after a sandy walk or a longer visit when you want food without leaving your dog outside. Practical, relaxed and genuinely dog friendly.
