The Falcon at Hatton

The Falcon at Hatton is a Warwickshire country pub with rooms, best known for a genuinely good Indian restaurant and a warm welcome for dogs in both the bar and the bedrooms. For anyone touring Warwick and the Midlands with a dog, it makes an easy, characterful overnight base.

The booking listing does not set out formal pet terms, so confirm the details when you book, but dog-friendly rooms and a dog-friendly pub are very much the point here. Guests travelling with dogs describe a real welcome rather than grudging tolerance, and staff even suggest local walks.

The bedrooms sit in a separate annex across the car park from the pub, with plenty of parking and several rooms opening more or less straight onto it, which is handy at the end of a walk or a late-night garden trip. The food is a highlight in its own right, with an authentic Indian menu alongside pub classics, and the staff earn consistent praise for being friendly and helpful.

The setting is rural Warwickshire, with pleasant countryside walks around Hatton and easy access to Warwick, making it a practical stop for exploring the area with a dog.

A few things are worth checking before you book. Rooms vary a lot in size and layout, and one or two guests found theirs cramped, so it is worth asking about the room you are being given. Some rooms are upstairs, which one guest travelling with an assistance dog and a mobility need found difficult, so if you need step-free access make that clear and confirm a ground-floor room. The pub sits on a busy road, and a few guests noticed traffic noise at night.

This suits a dog owner who wants a sociable pub-with-rooms, excellent food and a genuine dog welcome over polished hotel uniformity, ideally in a ground-floor room away from the road. As a dog-friendly base near Warwick, it is a likeable choice.
