Old stone coaching inns, flagstone floors and big fireplaces: the Cotswolds is made for a fireside pint after a walk with the dog. Plenty of the best pubs sit right on the market squares, so you can walk straight in from the footpaths.

Every pub here welcomes dogs and has a real fire or wood burner, according to our listings. Some keep dogs to the bar, so check the note on each card, and call ahead before a special trip.
