At The Bell Hotel, we understand that your furry friends are part of the family. Leaving them behind when you travel can be tough, which is why we’re delighted to offer a truly dog-friendly stay—and even better, dogs stay free!

Enjoy a dog-friendly hotel break in Suffolk and bring them along for their own adventure. Nestled in the charming village of Saxmundham, just a short distance from the Heritage Coast, The Bell Hotel offers cosy fires, outstanding food, and luxurious rooms, making it the perfect retreat for both you and your four-legged friend.

A warm welcome for you and your dog

We’ve set aside exclusive dog-friendly rooms, ensuring that you and your canine companion can enjoy a relaxing getaway together. These rooms are available only when booked directly with our team, so be sure to call ahead to secure your stay.

Upon arrival, your pup will be treated like a VIP (Very Important Pooch) with a selection of comforts, including:

✔️ A cosy dog bed for a restful night’s sleep

✔️ Food and water bowls to keep them happy and hydrated

✔️ Tasty treats—a well-earned reward after a day of exploring

While we provide all the essentials, you may wish to bring some of their home comforts, such as their favourite blanket or toy, to help them feel completely at home.

Dog-friendly dining & lounges

We welcome resident dogs in our bar area and lounge, where you can relax with your pet by your side. Our full dining menu is available in the bar, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal while your dog snoozes comfortably under the table.

Perfect for exploring with your dog

The Bell Hotel is perfectly positioned for dog-friendly adventures, with East Suffolk and the Heritage Coast offering a wealth of scenic walks, nature trails, and stunning coastal paths for you both to enjoy.

When you return from a day of exploring, you’ll find a crackling fire in the colder months, and a beautiful terrace for al fresco dining in the summer—ensuring both you and your dog can fully unwind in comfort.

To ensure the best experience for you and your dog, pet-friendly rooms must be booked directly with our team. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or an extended countryside retreat, The Bell Hotel is ready to welcome you and your canine companion for a relaxing, pet-friendly stay.
