A Countryside Break They Can Come Along On


Planning a few days away is always more complicated when you have a dog. Finding someone to look after them, packing their things and then spending the whole trip wondering what they are getting up to at home!

At The Boars Head Hotel, your four-legged family member doesn’t have to miss out. We offer a limited number of dog-friendly, ground-floor bedrooms, making us a convenient choice for a dog-friendly break near Ashbourne and Uttoxeter.

Comfortable Dog-Friendly Accommodation


Our dog-friendly rooms provide a comfortable place to relax after a day spent exploring the local area. Being on the ground floor also makes those early-morning and late-night trips outside a little easier.

Dog-friendly rooms are limited, so please let us know that your dog will be joining you when making your booking.

Explore Derbyshire and Staffordshire Together


Located in Draycott-in-the-Clay, The Boars Head is surrounded by beautiful Derbyshire and Staffordshire countryside. With villages, country lanes and scenic places to explore nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy some fresh air together.

Whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a full day out, you can return to the hotel afterwards without worrying about finding somewhere that welcomes dogs.

Food, Drinks and Muddy Paws


A countryside break is even better when good food is waiting for you at the end of the day.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in selected areas of our pub and restaurant, so you can enjoy lunch, dinner or a relaxing drink without leaving them behind. Our gastro menu is served daily, with everything from traditional pub favourites to steaks, burgers and lighter dishes.
