Lincolnshire is a big county to cover, and the dog-friendly accommodation picture reflects that: solid coverage in Lincoln and a scatter of market towns, genuine gaps elsewhere. Premier Inn is excluded countywide as usual, since no branch overrides the chain’s standard assistance-dogs-only policy.
Lincoln
- DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln, Brayford Wharf North, LN1 1YW — dogs only, 1 per booking, up to 10kg, £15/accommodation/night. Pet-friendly rooms must be requested at booking.
- Washingborough Hall Hotel, Church Hill, Washingborough, LN4 1EH — £15/room/night for 1 dog, £20 for 2. Dogs allowed in the allocated bedroom, hallway, reception, bar-snug and front grounds, but not the main dining room (guide dogs only there). Must stay on a lead and not be left unattended.
- Holiday Inn Express Lincoln City Centre, Ruston Way, LN6 7DB — pets welcome by prior arrangement, £30/pet/stay, no weight limit stated.
Boston
The White Hart Hotel, 1-5 High Street, PE21 8SH — dogs only, max 2, specific rooms only (call to request), £15/night.
Spalding
The Red Lion Hotel, Market Place, PE11 1SU — dogs and cats accepted, no pet fee stated.
Grimsby & Cleethorpes (North East Lincolnshire)
- St James Hotel, St James Square, Grimsby, DN31 1EP — dogs only, max 2, up to 20kg each, £30/pet/night plus a £50 pet deposit per stay. Specific rooms only, dogs must be supervised at all times.
- Holiday Inn Express Grimsby, Wellowgate, DN32 0RA — pets welcome, £25/night fee plus a £25 damage deposit.
- Healing Manor Hotel, Stallingborough Road, Healing, DN41 7QF — a village just outside Grimsby, genuinely within North East Lincolnshire. £25 pet charge, limited dog-friendly bedrooms (pre-book), dogs allowed in selected bedrooms, the gardens and the Pig & Whistle bar, not the restaurant.
- Cleethorpes Pearl Holiday Park, North Sea Lane, Humberston, Cleethorpes, DN36 4ET — dogs welcome, no fee stated, with a practical cap of around 2 dogs per booking. Dogs must be kept under control and not left unattended.
Scunthorpe (North Lincolnshire)
Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Ermine Street, Brigg, DN20 0AQ — near Broughton, genuinely within North Lincolnshire despite its Brigg postal address. Dogs only, max 2, up to 34kg each, £25/accommodation/night. We couldn’t verify any accommodation in Scunthorpe town centre itself — a genuine gap.
Stamford
Crown Hotel Stamford, All Saints Place, PE9 2AG — dogs only, specific rooms (call to request), £15/pet/night, with food and water bowls provided.
Gainsborough
Black Swan Guest House, High Street, Marton, DN21 5AH — Marton is a village within West Lindsey district, genuinely Gainsborough’s area. Dogs and cats accepted at no extra charge, with an exercise area available.
Horncastle
The Admiral Rodney Hotel, North Street, LN9 5DX — dogs only, max 2, specific rooms only (call to request), £15/accommodation/night.
Woodhall Spa
Bainland Lodge Retreats, Horncastle Road, LN10 6UX — dog-friendly lodges carry an additional per-pet fee that varies by lodge rather than a single flat rate, with a welcome pack provided per dog on arrival.
Mablethorpe
Golden Sands Holiday Park (Haven), Mablethorpe, LN12 1QJ — dogs welcome on the park’s outdoor areas and the outdoor restaurant terrace, with the nearby beach described as dog-friendly all year. No fee or breed restriction is published, so treat this as general “dogs welcome” messaging rather than a detailed per-booking policy.
Genuine gaps
We couldn’t verify a single dog-friendly hotel or B&B in Grantham, Skegness town itself, Sleaford, Louth or Market Rasen, or in Bourne — in each case, the obvious candidate either had an explicit “pets not allowed” policy, or simply published no pet policy anywhere we could find. These are genuine gaps rather than oversights; a direct phone call to a specific venue is your best bet if you need to stay in one of these towns.
A new room is a lot of new smells to process after a long day exploring the Wolds or the coast. A calming bite before you travel can help take the edge off that first evening somewhere new. If the unsettled behaviour doesn’t ease once they’re used to a place, that’s worth a word with your vet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where’s best for dog-friendly accommodation in Lincolnshire?
Lincoln has the broadest confirmed coverage, with three verified options including Washingborough Hall Hotel’s detailed published policy. Grimsby/Cleethorpes also has a good spread.
Is there dog-friendly accommodation in Scunthorpe itself?
Not that we could verify. Forest Pines Hotel near Brigg is the closest confirmed option, within North Lincolnshire but outside the town centre.
Is Premier Inn in Lincolnshire dog-friendly?
Not as standard. No Lincolnshire branch overrides the chain’s usual assistance-dogs-only policy, so we haven’t listed any Premier Inn here.
