The Old Boathouse

The Old Boathouse is a dog-friendly pub a few miles south of Cirencester, part of the De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel. Dogs are welcome inside, so the whole group can settle in together without anyone braving the car park alone.

Open Monday to Saturday from midday until 10pm and Sundays until 9pm, it makes a handy stop when you're exploring the Cotswold Water Park area with your dog. The pub serves food and drink throughout the day. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Whether you're finishing a lakeside ramble or just need somewhere warm and dog-welcoming to sit down with a pint, the Old Boathouse keeps things straightforward. Your dog can join you inside and nobody needs to volunteer for pavement duty. That simple inclusion is especially useful when the weather turns or the day needs a proper sit-down pause.
