Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Somerset · England · City
Wells offers a compact cathedral-city break, with the Bishop’s Palace gardens as a clearly defined dog-friendly visit and local walking routes for a second outing. The Swan and White Hart are both on Sadler Street, so the practical choice is mainly about the room and meal arrangement rather than a distant hotel location.
Policies researched 27 September 2026 · Check directly before booking
A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly before you pay.
The Swan charges £15 per room per night for up to two dogs and asks you to phone for a dog bedroom. The White Hart explicitly welcomes dogs for overnight stays, food and drinks, but detailed room limits and charges need enquiry. In either case, reserve the suitable dining table as well as the room.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Make the gardens the main visit, checking current tickets and opening times. Keep the plan outdoors rather than relying on a Palace interior tour.
Use a short lead no longer than 2 metres. Pet dogs are excluded from the Palace building, Chapel and Dragon’s Lair children’s area.
Official visitor information ↗Use the local tourism walking information to select a route that matches your dog’s energy. A short town option is a different undertaking from heading towards Tor Hill or the Mendips.
Check the selected route’s own instructions and current signs. Keep dogs controlled, use leads near livestock and do not infer universal access from a general walking page.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Check into your arranged Sadler Street room and visit the Palace gardens during opening hours. Stay within the dog-permitted spaces and leave time to enjoy the setting. Return for the meal table you reserved with the hotel.
Pick a local route from the walking information after checking terrain and conditions. Keep it short if the previous day was enough for your dog; a town stroll is perfectly adequate. Longer hill routes are an option for a separate, better-equipped day.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The hotel specifically directs guests to call for the eligible bedroom.
The walking page contains several routes and organised walks with different rules; do not treat them as one itinerary.
Pet dogs are excluded from the building and Chapel; the welcome is in permitted garden areas on short leads.
Yes. The operator explicitly includes overnight stays, with detailed room arrangements to confirm.
