NO ONE wants to leave a beloved family member behind when they go away on holiday – and although many hotels will accommodate dogs, some make them more welcome than others.

Luckily, The Good Hotel Guide 2025 has just been released online with some top properties for pooches.

We asked the editors to name six of the best places for a night away with a four-legged friend . . .

THE SUN INN

Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria

THE owners, staff and Bruce the spaniel are delighted to welcome dogs to this whitewashed 16th century inn, in a market town between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

The cosy bar – with low beams and log burner – as well as a part of the restaurant, are entirely dog friendly, as are most of the rustic-chic bedrooms.

They charge £20 per stay for one dog and £30 for two, for which you get a Pooch Pack of towel, bowl and treats, a trail map and an outdoor shower.

The food is hearty pub grub – just the job after a day’s walk on the wild side.

GO: B&B doubles cost from £115. See sun-inn.info.

MILL END HOTEL

Chagford, Devon

YOUR dog has the run of Dartmoor at this country house hotel, a former flour mill with the River Teign flowing through the grounds.

Certain public rooms and two bar tables, the gardens, exercise paddock and a number of the smart bedrooms are dog-friendly.

For a nightly charge of £12, canine guests can look forward to a goodie box and a breakfast sausage, while water bowls, spare leads and walking maps are available on request.

Washing facilities and towels are also provided.

Visitors praise the ambience, the cheery, efficient service, well-equipped rooms and nightly changing menus of locally-sourced dishes.

GO: B&B doubles cost from £160. See millendhotel.com.

WIDBROOK GRANGE

Bradford-on-Avon, Wilts

Pooches can enjoy doggy afternoon tea at Widbrook Grange[/caption]

NOT only can dogs look forward to a sausage at breakfast, they can even host a doggy birthday party at Nick and Charlotte Dent’s eccentric Georgian farmhouse, filled with upcycled paraphernalia and old agricultural equipment.

Doggy afternoon tea is £10.50 and includes a tennis ball to take home.

Although a sleepover will cost £20 for a furry friend, the rustic-chic bedrooms are nice and affordable for their accompanying people, and the charge includes an accessories-filled tote, ball, treats and walking maps.

The Kitchen Restaurant is the one canine no-go area, but the same farmhouse cuisine is available in the conservatory.

GO: B&B doubles cost from £91. See widbrookgrange.co.uk.

THE MONTAGU ARMS

Beaulieu, Hants

supplied

Dogs are welcome in selected snug rooms at the Montagu Arms[/caption]

IN a charming village roamed by free-ranging ponies and donkeys, and with that great adventure playground the New Forest on the doorstep, this arts and crafts-style hotel is great for families.

Dogs are welcome in selected snug rooms, where a charge of £35 a night secures a Beco Pets hamper, bed and bowls.

There is also pet-friendly dining in the hotel’s Monty’s Inn.

The pricier panelled Terrace Restaurant is for humans only, but who needs tempura lemon sole when you can chow down on good old fish and chips with your furry pal at your side?

GO: B&B doubles cost from £200. See montaguarmshotel.co.uk.

THE DEVONSHIRE ARMS

Bolton Abbey, North Yorks

supplied

Posh pooches can command a four-poster dog bed at the Devonshire Arms[/caption]

A 17th-century inn on the Duke of Devonshire’s vast estate is today a luxury country house hotel, where posh pooches to the manner born can command a four-poster dog bed for £50.

Otherwise, it is £15 per dog per night to stay in one of the designated bedrooms.

Apart from the spa and fine-dining restaurant, all public areas are dog-friendly, including the brasserie.

New Canine Retreat packages include welcome treats, a Canine Delights menu with doggy wine or beer if desired, and a hot outdoor dog bath for mucky pups.

Dales, fells, woods and riverside walks beckon.

GO: B&B doubles cost from £260. See devonshirehotels.co.uk.

CRINGLETIE HOUSE

Peebles, Scottish Borders

supplied

Dogs are allowed in all but two bedrooms at Cringletie House[/caption]

YOU may pay quite a bit for a room at the Victorian Scottish baronial hotel, on a 28-acre estate, but Fido gets to stay for nothing – and is presented with a goodie bag.

Dogs allowed in all but two bedrooms and, though they are barred from the restaurant and Maguire Lounge, they can join you at a table in the bar.

The gently rolling Borders countryside makes for great walks.

GO: B&B doubles cost from £340. See cringletie.com.

FANS of I’m A Celebrity have spotted how there is a missing part of the show, with many pleading for it to be reintroduced.

The iconic ITV show made a triumphant return last weekend, with a selection of famous faces uniting in the Australian jungle in the name of reality TV.

Eating trials are a fan-favourite[/caption]

But fans have noticed that a fan-favourite part of the show is missing and has been since the show began on Sunday.

On Reddit, fans have spotted how the celebrities in this year’s series are yet to do a proper eating trial.

“We’ve now had 4 trails and none of them have been an eating trail, just seems kinda strange as there is usually one in the first 4 or so,” said one person.

Another agreed, “Yeah all they have had is confined space trials this year.”

“They’re probably so desperate for a bit of animal protein thanks to Dean they’d probably wolf down whatever was put in front of them without thinking too much,” said a third.

A fourth then penned, “Has it only been like 4 days, and it started with a gross milkshake,” referring to the disgusting shake the celebrities were given when they arrived.

While a fifth said, “Eating trials seem to be quite popular. They maybe waiting for the right time. I’m guessing Saturday to help gain the viewers maybe?”

And a sixth added, “I’m glad. I think they are the most boring.”

FANS PLEAD FOR EATING TRIAL

Meanwhile, on X, formerly known as Twitter, fans are also questioning when an eating trial might take place.

“Me patiently waiting for the eating trial,” said one, along with a meme.

“We can’t be far away from the eating trial??” asked a second.

And a third echoed, “Why no eating trial yet?”

This comes after two new arrivals joined the 2024 lineup of the beloved show.

NEW ARRIVALS

Last night, former Love Island star Maura Higgins entered the jungle with Reverand Richard Coles.

When they arrived, the duo was thrown straight into the Jungle Junkyard – which may have looked disgusting, but actually had hidden advantages.

When Maura arrived at the camp, she was fuming over the living conditions.

“It’s not liveable, we have nothing, this camp sucks,” she fumed after seeing the camp for the first time.

She then added, “I’m going to ask Richard to say a prayer for us tonight because I’m gonna need one.”

TESCO has revealed plans to open 150 new locations over the next three years in a convenience store blitz.

The Tesco Express expansion will create more than 2,000 jobs, while some stores will benefit from longer opening hours.

Tesco plans to open 150 new Express convenience stores over the next three years[/caption]

The majority of sites will run from 7am to 11pm, but the supermarket giant is aiming to have some open from 6am to midnight.

Kevin Tindall, managing director at Tesco UK, said the chain had signed leases for many of the new shops, but that they were looking at housing estates, new-build tower blocks and high streets with a lot of footfall.

The news came as Britain’s biggest grocer yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of Tesco Express by opening a shop in Burnt Oak, North London — on the same street the very first Tesco was set up in 1929.

Tesco this week cut prices on 200 everyday items such as bread, milk, and chicken in its Express stores, and continues to offer Clubcard discounts.

But it does not offer its Aldi Price Match in the convenience shops.

Critics including Which? have argued customers at smaller shops are disadvantaged by the higher prices.

But Mr Tindall explained that most smaller stores charge a premium as they are hit harder by costs, especially in London where rents are high.

And he said Tesco was continuing to create jobs despite the “challenges of extra costs from the Budget”.

There are now 2,074 Tesco Express stores and 808 larger superstores.

Rivals Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and Asda have also committed to opening new locations.

A miniature giant

GAMES WORKSHOP, the maker of fantasy miniature figurines and the Warhammer franchise, is nudging its way into the FTSE 100 after its shares rocketed to a record high yesterday.

The niche hobby business is now valued at £4.5billion, more than B&M Bargains or Sports Direct owner Frasers Group.

Its shares yesterday rose 17 per cent to £137.90 each after a brief statement that its profits would beat forecasts of £120million.

Shares have risen by 38.5 per cent in the past year.
