The Waterford Arms

The Waterford Arms is a coastal pub and hotel in Seaton Sluice, just a few miles from Whitley Bay, where dogs are welcome inside the bar. Open from half eight through to late evening, it's the kind of place walkers reach with relief after a windswept stretch along the coast.

Dogs can join you in the bar area and food is served for the whole table. Whether you're after a pint, a proper meal or just somewhere to pause before the next leg, they've got you covered without any fuss.

It makes a useful dog-friendly stop on the Northumberland shoreline, particularly when the weather turns or you need somewhere warm and welcoming. The pub sits within easy reach of the coastal path and the straightforward approach to dogs means you don't have to leave anyone in the car.
