Treat Your Dog to Canine Castle Capers

Treat your dog to a bow-wow factor stay in a medieval castle hotel and they can return with memories, plus a special certificate bestowing true ‘b-wagging’ rights within their doggy circle.

Langley Castle Hotel, built in 1350 and located near Haydon Bridge in Northumberland can’t wait to greet doggy visitors to its dog-friendly accommodation, grounds and dog-friendly zones within its seven-feet-thick castle walls.  

To this end, it has created its very own ‘Doggy Guide to Canine Castle Capers’, is offering doggies a special doggy B&B option (Poochy Déjeuner), comprising delicious Scrumptious Sausages and Scrambled Egg as brekkie and a snoozing zone of super-comfy dog bed with nearby water bowl, and is even giving doggies special privileges.

Dog companions can simply flash their guide’s Doggy Pawsport page at Langley Castle reception, to receive a little treat.  They can also be the envy of their canine pals, by getting their Doggy King of Queen of the Castle certificate, bearing their name and verifying they were a paw-fect guest during an amazing castle stay.

Their stay can be greatly enriched by the ‘Doggy Scents of Place’ suggestions.  Using these, Fido can sniff out all the best scents in Langley Castle’s extensive 10-acre wooded and lawned grounds, from those left by squirrels, rabbits and peacocks, to those of woodland trees, bracken and waterside plants and mosses.

Doggy accommodation is within relaxing Castle View rooms, suites and lodge in Langley Castle’s grounds, but the doggy visitor can also head inside the castle for meals and relaxation, with food served in the stunning chandelier-lit drawing room.  

Pet parents can use their new free guide, to head to numerous recommended dog-friendly places, including visitor attractions, Northumberland National Park walks, Hadrian’s Wall locations and glorious beaches. Advice on staying healthy and safe, safeguarding seals and seabirds, local vet care and car travel is all provided.
