With local off-road walking trails, green woodlands and lakes, the Burleigh Court Cotswolds simply is a doggie’s paradise. As a dog-friendly hotel, here at the Burleigh Court, we’d argue that there isn’t anywhere better than the rolling hills of the Stroud five valleys or Minchinhampton Common to bring your furry friend. Spacious surroundings, comfy uniquely designed rooms, and locally sourced food at our dog friendly restaurant awaits.
It can be difficult to find suitable dog friendly accommodation in the Cotswolds – we love having dogs to stay at the Burleigh Court Hotel and have a number of dog-friendly hotel rooms available. These are located in the Coach House and all have direct access to the outside for ease and comfort for your stay with us.
Our four acres of grounds and the Cotswolds countryside beyond are ideal for exploring with your four-legged friends with plenty of options for the type of day-out you would like with your dog – for example, you can take your dog for a swim near Woodchester Mansion, explore nearby National Trust countryside, or venture out on beautiful walking routes accessible directly from the Burleigh Court.
Dog owners are welcome to dine with their dog in the dedicated smaller dining space in our restaurant. Friendly staff will ensure you and your four-legged friend are warmly welcomed.
We welcome up to two dogs in our pet friendly bedrooms. The hotel provides bowls and a bag of delicious dog treats for our four-legged guests. There are a number of dog friendly rooms in the Coach House which share their own entrance and have direct access to the grounds.
If you are bringing a dog, please book one of our designated dog friendly rooms otherwise we may not be able to accommodate you.
T&Cs apply and please familiarise yourself with our pet rules before booking.

Expect nothing short of incredible Cotswolds views over the Stroud Valley when you head off for a walk. Especially Rodborough Common and Minchinhampton Common are vast with spacious grass lands on a high plateau with stunning views.
The name Cotswolds is probably derived from two English words ‘Cots’ which means sheep enclosures and ‘Wolds’ which means gentle hills. The region’s history dates back to the Bronze and Iron Age and a lot of Roman history. From the Middle Ages onwards, the Cotswolds became wealthy from the wool trade. Rich merchants built many of the beautiful churches and houses still around today – one of which is Burleigh Court.
