Relax and recharge at dog friendly Relais Cooden Beach hotel and spa in Bexhill-on-Sea We had the pleasure of staying at T he Relais Cooden Beach hotel and spa which is a fabulous dog friendly hotel, situated right on the beach at Bexhill-on-Sea. The hotel has vibrant decor for perfect pics and the staff gave us a warm welcome before showing us to our room. Our room had it's own verandah and a perfect view out to sea. I'm always delighted to discover a little something special waiting for me! My Doghouse box had treats (yum), a ball (fun) and some poop bags (these excite the humans). Apart from the poop bags, the humans had another special treat waiting in the room for them. After a quick explore and a much needed snooze, we headed to the restaurant for dinner. Dogs can dine with their humans in the cosy lounge area which is alongside the main restaurant. The menu had plenty of choice and the humans made those noises they make when they are eating something good. I get told off for doing that! With all our bellies full, it was time to get our PJs on and snuggle up on the bed that was provided for me in the room. I slept really well (as did the humans) and dreamt of sausages..... Dreams can come true!! Not only did I get a sausage for breakfast but also some black pudding. Breakfast is also served in the lounge with hot food made to order and buffet for all the other bits that humans like. Granola? What the fluff is that all about? We were very lucky with the weather for March and were able to take advantage of the hotel's location right on the beach.

The Ultimate Secure Dog Field If you’re looking for the perfect place to let your furry friend run free, explore, and enjoy some off-leash fun in a safe environment, then Park For Paws is the ideal destination. Nestled on the B2128 between Cranleigh and Rudgwick, this secure 3-acre dog field is designed for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. One of the salient features of Park For Paws is their exceptional fencing. This whole field is surrounded with 6ft high fencing with small holes in the netting that even small puppies cannot get out of. Whatever one's dog may be, a great jumper or the tiniest Houdini, this area has been thoughtfully designed to keep owners' minds at rest. From arrival, the on-site parking is in the field itself, providing a safe area to let your dog out without the concern of busy roads and distractions. There is fresh water available for your pup and poo bins dotted around for ease of cleanup. There is also a shelter where owners can sit and rest while the dogs run free. A handy simple dog washing facility has recently been added in the car park area. Park For Paws isn't all about open space; it's about providing a stimulating environment. The field offers loads of natural enrichment from areas of grass to run on and explore, big tyres and wooden structure to climb, a set of weave poles, to exciting smells that will keep your dog amused. Whether they like to run, sniff, or simply enjoy stretching their legs, something is there for every pup to enjoy. Why We Loved Our Visit: A very enjoyable time was spent at the Park For Paws . It was a very stress-free outing since the place was so well thoughtfully designed and secure; for our dogs, they could run around in such a vast and engaging area. Hope particularly loved the sandpit as she is all about digging and rolling.

Dog friendly hotel Manchester - review by Nacho of The Four Legged Foodies I love to explore UK cities so I asked the old woman to take me to Manchester to experience a bit of Northern charm! We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Leven which is a fabulous dog friendly hotel in Manchester city centre. It's always a good start to any visit when I see that the hotel has its priorities right when it comes to who is the most important guest. Not only were the staff super welcoming but I had a special treat waiting for me in the room. My welcome pack included lots of tasty treats, including a pupcake and also a ball to keep me entertained. Notice how small her name is below mine? There was also a comfy bed for me and a bowl to enjoy my dinner in. The sign was her idea of joke - I had actually had a bath specially for the trip!! The human got her own treat of a special pair of socks to keep her feet warm. You can tell by my face that she did not have a bath specially for the trip! Our room was spacious with lots of windows so I could look out and watch the dogs of Manchester passing by. There was a huge bed for the human and a little kitchen area which was perfect for her to prepare my meals. The reception are is very stylish and welcoming in design and there is a small room where a buffet breakfast is served. Guests at Leven can get dinner and cocktails at Maya which is next to the hotel. Dogs are welcome in the lower ground area of the restaurant where they serve delicious food - it was Sunday so they had a roast dinner. They ate every morsel so I assume it was good. They are still talking about how amazing the cocktails were. Gay Village Manchester Leven is in the heart of Manchester's gay village which is very colourful and way too cool for my oldies! (That's only my opinion - they loved it). The area is very busy at weekends and can get lively but we heard nothing from our hotel room and all slept soundly. The old woman used the excuse of wanting to show the beautiful exterior of the hotel as a way of infiltrating my blog - please feel free to look past her.

9 dog friendly vegan restaurants in London Here are some great dog friendly places where you can get your plant fix this Veganuary and beyond. Amrutha Earsfield This small but mighty vegan restaurant in Earlsfield offers Asian tapas style dining where all you have to choose is whether to have 8 dishes or 12. Every dish is pure heaven on a plate and dogs get their very own dish of veggies. The restaurant has a "pay what you want" policy and you can re-order as many dishes as you like. Amrutha 326 Garratt Ln, London SW18 4EJ Tofu Vegan Golders Green The humans are always looking for restaurants that push the boundaries with vegan food and Tofu Vegan is just one of those places and they also love dogs! Win, win! Their 3 locations serve up delicious Chinese food from a 100% plant-based menu. Now our human has never been a fan of tofu but this place changed her mind forever. (Don't worry if you're not a fan, there are many dishes without tofu). The NOT fish burger is a must try for everyone (even we couldn’t tell it wasn’t real fish) and the dim sum are little parcels of scrumptiousness. Weekend lunchtimes are super busy so maybe try quieter times with your dog. We visited Golders Green but all 3 locations welcome dogs. Tofu Vegan Golders Green , Spitalfields and Islington Follow: @tofuveganlondon Vegan Planet Camden If you lived on planet vegan would you worship seitan? Luckily we didn't need a spaceship, just had to get the tube to Camden to enjoy this amazing Chinese vegan restaurant. The restaurant is right by Camden station or a short walk from Regent's Park. Which is a good option as you will need to work up an appetite to get through their extensive menu. All well-behaved doggies are welcome in the spacious restaurant and will get water and treats from the staff. The restaurant is 100% vegan and our humans recommend the dim sum platter, wontons in spicy sauce and salt and pepper oyster mushrooms. Vegan Planet 11 Parkway, London NW1 7PG Follow: @veganplanetcamden Yeotown Fancy some California Dreaming on a Winter's day? January in London can be bleak but once you're inside this restaurant your winter blues will disappear. Yeotown is a California inspired restaurant in the Inhabit Hotels Queens Gardens and Sussex Gardens, Bayswater. The mood is chill and the food is a work of art. The restaurant isn't 100% vegan but has a great selection of small plates that are. Our humans recommend the rice paper wraps which are filled with fruit but it works and the beautiful potato pave with edible nasturtium. And if the weather isn't too bad it's just a short hop over the road to Hyde Park for walkies. Yeotown 78 Sussex Gardens, Tyburnia, London W2 1UH Follow: @yeotownlondon Shake Shack Victoria Our friends at Shake Shack never let us down with quality food and a warm welcome for pooches. In January they have a limited edition Crispy Shallot burger to celebrate Veganuary with crispy shallot fries too! All Shake Shack locations in London are dog friendly and they have red velvet bone biscuits and poochini permanently on the menu. Shake Shack - various locations Follow: @shakeshackuk Floozie Covent Garden If you have a sweet tooth Veganuary can be difficult as most baked goods have butter or milk but we have some great news for cookie monsters...Floozie cookies are 100% vegan. Their cookies are stuffed with such deliciousness as peanut butter and jelly and pecan pie. They also have a selection of vegan drinks and ice cream. The shop is downstairs at Covent Garden Market and has a few tables inside and out where pooches are welcome. We had our own vegan puppacino while the humans stuffed their faces. Floozie Building Lower Ground, 15 The Mkt, London WC2E 8RE Follow: @flooziecookies Mall Tavern Having a plant based diet does not mean you have to miss out on a Sunday Roast. which is lucky because a roast at the pub is one of our favourite ways to spend a Sunday. At the Mall Tavern in Notting Hill you can get this nut roast with all the trimmings and you won't even miss the beef! Our human is obsessed with gravy so she was worried about how it might taste but she said it was one of the tastiest ones she ever had (apart from grandpaw's). She did cheat a little though and had the Yorkshire Pudding which you have to leave out for a full vegan dish. That's because she is a Yorkshire Pudding herself! Mall Tavern 71 Palace Gardens Terrace, London W8 4DY Follow: @malltavern Purezza We do love pizza and when we heard Purezza offer a doggie pizza we decided to give the green stuff a try! The dog menu has 2 pizza flavours and also dog beer and wine. We prefer water but the pizza slices went down a treat. Our Two Legged Foodies are always looking for great vegan food to try so gorged down a couple pizzas. There are also vegan pasta dishes on the menu. Purezza 45-47 Parkway, London NW1 7PN Follow: @purezza Pastaio Pasta is a difficult one for vegans and our humans couldn't live without pasta! Pastaio have a great vegan menu which proves you don't need eggs and cheese to make a fabulous bowl of pasta. The menu also has anti pasta and desserts. Pooches are very welcome and can have a go at the Lady and The Tramp moment!

Dogs are  allowed  on leads  around the farm, and owners need   to  be  aware  of the farm animals and  personnel . Always  pick up after your dog and respect  other visitors.  While  the farm is  friendly , it ' s  necessary to keep your dog in  control,  particularly   near  the animals, to  protect   them  and  make them feel comfortable. So  the  next time you  are out  in the area, don ' t forget to  take  your dog along  with you  to Mudchute Farm!

Review of dog friendly hotel The Psalter in Sheffield The human is from Sheffield so sometimes we go to visit her family. Rather than imposing on their hospitality, this time we stayed at The Psalter Hotel which is in the Nether Edge district of Sheffield, approximately 2 miles from the city centre. The Psalter has a stylish cocktail bar and a lovely restaurant where pooches are welcome to join the humans and the staff are super friendly. We stayed in a King Suite which was super spacious and comfortable. I had a basket of goodies waiting for me, including treats, a bowl, towel and poo bags. The room also had great views of the city, with low window sills - perfect for nosy little terriers! Eating and drinking I do well - sharing not so much! The hotel has recently been taken over by one of our favourite chefs whose food we first experienced at Rafters Riverside back in 2023. Tom has brought the same high level of cuisine to Psalter so it's a perfect destination for all foodies. We stayed on a Sunday so were treated to Sunday Roast which was exceptional (I got to try the beef). The cauliflower roast for vegans is amazing! Breakfast is served in the lounge area and I was brought my very own sausage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Psalter and recommend to any of our doggie friends who are visiting Sheffield. Need to know: Max 2 dogs per room £25 additional room fee To explore Sheffield from the hotel you will need to drive or catch a bus. The hotel has a large car park. The Psalter 178-180 Psalter Lane, Sheffield, S11 8US A short drive from the hotel is Sheffield Botanical Gardens which is a great place to explore with your dog and meet up with some pals. Within the gardens, you will find Joni which is a wonderful cafe serving delicious brunches and lunches. DOG FRIENDLY SHEFFIELD DOG FRIENDLY SOUTH YORKSHIRE DOG FRIENDLY HOTEL

Visit to this pretty dog friendly Cafe in Surbiton I consider myself a bit of an icon, so I was thrilled to discover this fabulous coffee and brunch house right on my doorstep in Surbiton. The humans had previously popped in for coffee and now it's their favourite local for a hot drink on the way to work. Now it was time to try out the food too.... ....and it didn't disappoint! The menu has a great selection of brunch and lunch dishes, they tried the hot honey and haloumi sandwich and avocado on toast with poached eggs. And it was all just as pretty as the surroundings and super tasty. I got a sausage brought to me by the lovely staff so I was well happy. Icon is a really inviting space with luxurious seating, quirky decor and lots of colour. It's one of those places where you will spot something different every time you go. There's always a lively buzz in the cafe but it can get very busy at weekends because there's nothing like it in the area. There are a few tables outside the front of the cafe which are covered by an awning. Icon CBH 12 Claremont Road KT6 4QU DOG FRIENDLY LONDON DOG FRIENDLY SURBITON DOG FRIENDLY SURREY
