What we've verified
Thorpeness beach is a two-minute walk and open to dogs off the lead all year except a small zone opposite the car park, and the path south along the shingle reaches Aldeburgh in about 3 km.
Dogs join you in the bar and snug rather than being left alone.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 10, Per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs are welcome in the bar and the snug bar, and the pub is dog friendly throughout its drinking areas.
