Ironmongers, One of the Hotels in Norfolk That Take Dogs

Planning a relaxing escape to Norfolk but don’t want to leave your beloved canine companion behind? You don't have to compromise on elegance to find a genuinely welcoming stay.

At the Ironmongers in amazing Aylsham, we understand that a truly refined retreat is only complete when the whole family including the four-legged members—can enjoy it. If you’re searching for luxury hotels in Norfolk that take dogs, look no further than our beautifully restored Grade II listed boutique accommodation just a short drive from Norwich. We offer the perfect blend of historical charm, modern comfort, and true pet-friendly hospitality.

The Ironmongers Difference: Luxury Pet-Friendly Accommodation

While many hotels in Norfolk that take dogs might limit you to a single, tucked-away room, we pride ourselves on offering a luxurious experience where you and your dog can feel completely at home. Our philosophy is that luxury should be inclusive, not restrictive.

Spacious Stays in Unique Rooms

We are delighted to confirm that we welcome well-behaved dogs in all of our rooms, with the exception of the Florists room. Each of our rooms has been meticulously designed to retain the building's original character while providing every modern amenity.

Our spacious, uniquely designed rooms—complete with plush furnishings, luxurious linens, and period features—ensure there’s plenty of space for both you and your pet to relax after a day of exploring the stunning Norfolk countryside. You can truly settle in and unwind.

Guidelines for a Perfect Stay

To ensure a harmonious and enjoyable stay for all guests, we kindly ask dog owners to adhere to a few simple requests:

• Bring Their Comforts: Owners need to bring a cage / sleeping blanket for their well-behaved dogs only. This ensures your pet has a familiar, secure, and cosy spot, helping maintain their best behaviour and protecting our beautiful period furnishings.

  
  

• Well-Behaved Only: We welcome quiet, well-behaved dogs who are accustomed to staying in new environments. We politely ask that dogs are not left unattended in the rooms unless securely crated and you are absolutely confident they will not cause distress to other guests.

Amazing Aylsham: A Dog-Friendly Market Town

Choosing Ironmongers means you gain the perfect base for exploring all that Norfolk offers, starting right outside our door in Aylsham. The town itself is a truly charming, historic market town, affectionately known as 'Amazing Aylsham'.

Local Amenities for Happy Hounds

Aylsham is incredibly walker-friendly and offers plenty of accessible green spaces right on your doorstep for those essential morning and evening walks.

And when you return, you won't need to cook! A selection of nearby restaurants are only a few seconds' walk from Ironmongers, offering everything from stone-baked pizzas to tempting tapas—and many feature welcoming outdoor areas perfect for dining with your dog.

Plus, with a delightful bakery situated directly below Ironmongers, you can look forward to a delicious homemade croissant (or two!) with your coffee, watching the sunrise over the town square.

Security, Privacy, and True Tranquillity

Ironmongers offers a boutique experience that prioritizes your comfort and privacy, setting us apart from larger, bustling hotels in Norfolk that take dogs.

This system ensures high security and privacy, giving you a private, hassle-free space to fully relax and unwind with your canine companion without the noise or intrusion of a typical hotel lobby.

We always try our best to ensure your visit is the perfect luxury you are looking for, guaranteeing attentive service where you need it, and undisturbed privacy when you don't.
