Doggie days out: 5 dog-friendly businesses in Cheltenham

If you own a dog, you’ll know that they’re part of the family, meaning you’ll want to include them on your days out. We’ve compiled a list of places in Cheltenham in honour of International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day (yes, it’s a real thing – look it up) that will gladly welcome you and your four-legged furry friend.

5. The Exmouth Arms

This cosy little pub on Bath Road is super dog-friendly with water bowls available on request. There’s lots of human food and drink, too, as well as a nice garden space for your pet to sunbathe or socialise.

4. The Suffolk Arms

This recently reopened pub on Suffolk Road is a haven for dogs. A water bowl and dog biscuits are available, plus blankets are kept in a crate by the door into the garden to keep your precious pooch warm. The warm atmosphere, sourdough pizzas and wide selection of gins should be enough to keep you just as happy as your dog for the whole afternoon.

3. The Swan

A traditional, beautiful pub is puppy paradise. With a garden for sunny days and a cosy indoor atmosphere in winter, you can spend hours at this pub in any season. The Swan’s dog bowls and treats will make your canine companion feel comfortable all day long. And your pooch is likely to get papped for the pub’s second Instagram account, @dogsofthepub.

2. The Boathouse

The Boathouse is the perfect location for you and your energetic pet. Surrounded by green park there’s plenty of space for your dog to zoom around while you enjoy the beautiful scenery. The café even provide blankets in winter and picnic rugs in summer, and you might even be able to grab a frozen treat for your furry friend too.

1. Harry Cook Free House

This local Cheltenham pub has their own dog treats so you can spoil your pooch rotten. A top Sunday roast and a huge range of drinks mean this establishment is a perfect place to spend the weekend, and you don’t have to miss out on spending time with the furry member of the family either.
