The Crown Hotel

The Crown Hotel is a handsome pub and hotel right on the Buttlands in Wells-next-the-Sea, with dogs welcome inside in selected areas. The bar is the main dog-friendly zone and it's where you can settle in with a drink after a morning on the quay or a windy walk along the beach. The pub atmosphere makes it easy to drop in without fuss and the central location means you're never far from the harbour or the high street.

Not all areas of the hotel accept dogs, so it's worth calling ahead if you're planning to stay or dine. The bar is reliably dog-friendly and recent visitors mention it as a comfortable spot to relax with their dogs inside.

Parking is available in the hotel's small free car park and there's also Buttlands parking nearby. The Crown sits in the heart of Wells, making it a practical stop when you're juggling leads, bags and a dog who's earned a rest.
