Newark-on-Trent
with your dog.

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-friendly places to stay in Newark-on-Trent

A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly 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.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Things to do around Newark-on-Trent

01

Newark Riverside Park

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.

02

Friary Gardens

Use 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.

AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS

A short break that leaves room to pause

Day one · an inn evening or a town meal

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.

Day two · follow the Trent a little way

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

Good to know before you go

Castle access is separate

The guide photograph shows Newark Castle, but restoration and access arrangements need a fresh check before a visit.

Compare dining arrangements

The inn welcomes dogs in its bar; Travelodge’s Bar Café does not.

Your Newark-on-Trent questions

Can dogs eat with guests at Beaumond Cross Inn?

Yes, in the bar area on leads, according to the operator. Reserve a suitable table.

Can I leave my dog in the Travelodge room?

Travelodge’s pet terms prohibit leaving pets alone; plan outings and meals together.
