Dog-friendly pubs with fires in the New Forest
New Forest pubs that welcome dogs and have a real fire, from Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Burley to Beaulieu, Lymington, Ringwood and Fordingbridge.
The New Forest is one of the best places in England for dog walks, and its pubs know it. Many sit right on the open heath or at the edge of the woods, so you can walk from the car park and finish by the fire.
Every pub here welcomes dogs and has a real fire or log burner, according to our listings. Ponies, cattle and deer roam freely across the forest, so keep dogs close, and check the note on each card before you go.
