Pet Month: Top dog-friendly places to dine, stay and play

To mark National Pet Month, Velvet finds four of the best local places for you and your dog to dine, stay and play this spring

Turing Locke, Cambridge
At Turing Locke, the team believes that dogs truly make a home, a home - and that’s why they can accompany you everywhere you go. Unwind in your spacious apartment. Enjoy a cocktail in Dutch. Catch-up over coffee in Douce. Experience the beautiful green surroundings of Eddington or stroll along the scenic walk to the city centre of Cambridge. Whatever you choose to do, your stay will feel complete with your dog by your side. Don’t forget to book your WOOF package to receive some lovely doggie treats, a dog bandana, toy and dog bowls for your stay.

Gonville Hotel, Cambridge
Avoid the heartbreak of leaving your beloved dog at home and bring them to Gonville Hotel as your pampered guest. At Gonville Hotel, the team not only welcomes dogs, they adore them and make every effort to ensure their stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as yours. The hotel comes with private gardens so you can let your dog stretch their legs at any time, all away from busy roads. For elderly dogs or those with smaller legs, a lift offers easy access to all bedrooms. Your four-legged friends can stay in any classic and superior rooms - and can also join you for breakfast in the Atrium and for a drink in the bar.

Hyatt Centric Cambridge
No holiday is complete without your furry friend. Avoid the dog-guilt of leaving them behind and stay at Hyatt Centric Cambridge this spring. All areas of the hotel are dog-friendly, so whether you’re looking to catch a bite to eat at The Astronomer, a quick coffee at Brew or a cheeky cocktail in Dutch, they can join you. The rooms also have plenty of space for you and your companion to enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Surrounded by parks, walkways and beautiful greenery, including the hotel’s very own courtyard, there is plenty of space for your fur baby to explore.

The Three Blackbirds, Woodditton
At this 17th century pub in the village of Woodditton, dogs are just as welcome as our human guests. Tucked between Newmarket and Cambridge, surrounded by fields and woodland, heath and fens, it’s the perfect place for snuffling noses. Sun-traps in summer and log fires in winter provide cosy, relaxed settings to stretch out for an afternoon doze. The doggy menu is always available and features a pig's ear - a firm favourite. Stay in one of nine countryside bedrooms with the Muddy Paws package and wagging tails can expect to find a dog bed, towel, bowl and tempting treats.
