Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Nottinghamshire · England · Town
Newark-on-Trent suits a town-and-river break with straightforward central accommodation. Beaumond Cross Inn has a clear bedroom policy and a bar where dogs can join meals; Travelodge offers a separate chain-hotel option nearby. Keep the outdoor plan flexible around river conditions, and treat the castle photograph as the setting rather than a promise of access during restoration work.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Beaumond Cross Inn publishes £20 per dog per night and permits on-lead dining in the bar. Travelodge accepts up to two domestic pets with a per-pet, per-stay charge to confirm when booking; pets cannot be left alone and are excluded from the Bar Café. The inn’s meal arrangement may be the simpler choice if you want to eat together on site.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a short return walk in the council-managed riverside park, checking access and the river level before setting out. A modest waterside outing leaves time for the town too.
Keep your dog close beside water, follow signed restrictions and avoid flooded or closed paths. Clean up and give other path users space.
Official visitor informationUse this town-council green space for a smaller second outing instead of another long walk. Keep the visit to public paths and open garden areas.
Use a lead, observe local signs and avoid any restricted play or planted areas. Dog access to nearby buildings is not assumed.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Settle into your room, then take a short look around the town and Friary Gardens if open. At Beaumond Cross, arrange a bar table for dinner with your dog. At Travelodge, organise a suitable meal elsewhere without leaving the dog alone.
Visit Riverside Park if paths are open and river conditions are suitable. Choose an out-and-back section that fits your dog rather than a fixed long circuit. If flooding or works interfere, keep to a short town outing before departure.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The guide photograph shows Newark Castle, but restoration and access arrangements need a fresh check before a visit.
The inn welcomes dogs in its bar; Travelodge’s Bar Café does not.
Yes. Beaumond Cross says residents and non-residents may bring dogs into the bar and dine there, with dogs kept on leads. Reserve or check availability before setting out.

The Inn lists £20 per night, per dog, per room, and welcomes well-behaved dogs in its bedrooms. Its page also notes that the owner’s dog Bella is present most days; contact the Inn if your dog needs space from other dogs.

No. Travelodge’s current terms prohibit leaving pets unattended in rooms or public areas. Dogs must be on leads in public areas, and pets cannot enter the Bar Café, so plan meals and outings together.

No. The Castle’s current visitor page says the site is not open for normal exploration; only a limited grounds area remains accessible for the Registration Office and public toilets. Dogs are welcome on leads in the open grounds. The page expects reopening in summer 2027, but recheck before visiting.
The Town Council lists Riverside Park, Friary Gardens, Fountain Gardens and Beaumond Gardens among its green spaces. Its page does not set out a dog-specific rule for these sites, so follow the signs at your chosen entrance and avoid assuming every play or planted area is open to dogs.
