23 Montpellier Walk,
Cheltenham,

A superb range of drinks and comfortable surroundings. I took Bramble and Juniper the bearded collies there and was pleased to see them get a warm welcome and even their own dog treats.

2. The Exmouth Arms

(Sister pub to The Royal)

The exmouth arms
167 bath road,
Cheltenham

A lovely outside area which hosts many small music festivals alongside town community events. An ideal place to take your dog – I found there was ample space outside, lots of seating inside and a large section of drinks and food.

3. The Swan

The Swan,
35-37 High Street
Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire.
GL50 1DX

With a nice courtyard to sit in, dog treats and dog bowls provided the staff went out of their way to make Ferdie feel welcome and happy. Great range of drinks and home cooked food. I would personally recommend the Swan which is centrally located on the upper high street. There is a car park near by and ample space inside out to socialise with friends, family and of course your dog too!

4. The Green Dragon
