About The Dog Inn
The Dog Inn suits travellers after a straightforward, no-fuss base near Bristol rather than a polished city hotel – walkers, pet owners and anyone keen on a proper pub meal will feel at home here. It sits on Badminton Road with free on-site parking, and puts Bristol Cathedral, Clifton Suspension Bridge and Harbourside within easy reach for a day of sightseeing.
Rooms are simple and functional, with en-suite bathrooms, family and accessible options, free WiFi, and drinks available in room. Downstairs, the restaurant and bar are the main draw, serving generous food including well-regarded Sunday roasts and a varied fish menu, with breakfast and packed lunches also available. There's a garden, picnic area and outdoor seating, plus laundry service and 24-hour reception for practical convenience. It's worth noting that upkeep can be inconsistent in places, so it suits guests prioritising food and location over finish.
Outside, the area is well set up for walking and cycling, with golf and fishing nearby too, alongside other pubs and restaurants for evenings out. Pets are welcome throughout, making it a genuinely convenient stop for those exploring Bristol on foot with a dog in tow.
