Bring Your Pooch to The Swan Inn: Abbotsbury’s Top Dog-Friendly Pub
If your dog could talk, they’d say, “Take me to The Swan Inn!” Nestled in the heart of Abbotsbury, Dorset, our pub isn’t just a haven for humans — it’s a paradise for pups too.
After a scenic walk along the Jurassic Coast or a romp through the Dorset countryside, there’s no better place to unwind than our cozy establishment. With a real coal fire crackling in the hearth and a selection of local ales on tap, both you and your four-legged friend will feel right at home.
We pride ourselves on being genuinely dog-friendly. That means water bowls at the ready, treats behind the bar, and plenty of belly rubs from our staff. Your pup can lounge by your side as you enjoy a proper pub meal and a pint (or two). No judging here.
But don’t just take our word for it. Visitors have praised our warm hospitality and canine accommodations. One reviewer noted, “Lovely pub with delicious food and friendly staff. Dog friendly, vegan friendly and motorhome friendly!” (tripadvisor.com)
So, whether you’re a local or just passing through, make The Swan Inn your go-to spot for a pint, a plate, and a pat for your pooch. After all, a pub without dogs is just a building with beer.
