Dog Friendly

Your canine companion is most welcome here at Mill End – in fact we think this is the perfect place to bring your dog to enjoy some of the splendid walks we have on our doorstep.

Dogs are charged at £7 per night for one dog and £10 per night for more than one.

There is a side entrance to the hotel which leads straight into the boot room. This is the ideal place to bring your dog if they have returned from a walk with wet, muddy paws. There is a basket of dog towels: Please use as many as you like and leave them on the floor (they go in a separate laundry to your towels!)

Please feel free to wander round the garden with your dog. If your dog leaves a mess there is a dog bin in the garden (by the garages at the entrance) and should you run out of poo bags, there is always a supply available in the boot room.

There are many great walks around Chagford where dogs are quite safe off the lead. However, please be very cautious crossing the main road outside the hotel. Responsible dog owners are always aware of this, but it is worth mentioning the need for prudence with livestock on the moors, particularly the lambs in springtime. Plus ponies on the moor can give a nasty kick if provoked.

As many of our regular guests will know, the ground floor rooms all have doors which lead directly onto the garden – These rooms are very popular with dog owners. If you are staying in a different room this occasion but would like to see one of the ground floor rooms for future reference we are happy to show you if they are unoccupied.

If there is anything else we can help you with, i.e. an extra lead, water bowls, dog biscuits, etc please do ask – we are dog owners ourselves: You may meet Tessa, our Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is very friendly with people but sometimes grumbles on first introductions with dogs though she is quite harmless. Please ignore her pleas for biscuits – she is fed regularly, but likes to pretend she is starving!

If on the odd occasion you want to go out for a longer period without your dog, and would like a sitter please let us know – if at all possible we will help you out if we can.

During the third week of August, the annual Chagford Show is held in the field across the road. If you are here during that time, the show has some great dog showing classes and is a must for your canine companion.

If your dog has an unfortunately accident in your room, please do let us know – we can then use the appropriate cleaning products: These things happen!

If you are comfortable with your dogs sitting with you in the Bar lounge or the Leat lounge, this is fine with us. However we do try to keep the main lounge dog free.

We wish you many happy hours dog walking whilst at Mill End.

Kind regards,

Sue & Peter Davies
