3 places on our list here — pubs that let the dog in, walks from the village. Every verdict below was checked by a human — the stamp shows when.
Georgian coaching inn on East Street, the smartest place to eat and sleep in Bridport. Dogs may join you in the bar and the garden but are not allowed in the main dining rooms, so ask for a dog-friendly table when you book. A set of bedrooms is kept for dogs at £20 per stay, plus £10 for a second dog, maximum two per room.
Rambling Palmers pub off West Street with a courtyard garden, live music and a reputation as the town's best drinking room. Listed by the brewery as dog friendly, with outside dining and parking. Central enough to be the base for a day in Bridport.

ADD A PLACEThe 2.6-mile village stroll behind Bridport, an hour and a quarter, up the little pine-topped cone that appears on every Dorset postcard and back through the hollow ways of the Symondsbury estate. Two short steep pulls on grass, otherwise farm track and lane, and the sunken lanes hold water for weeks after rain. Start from the Symondsbury Estate car park by the Ilchester Arms, free for visitors to the estate and about thirty spaces, filling at weekends when the kitchen is busy; this is working farmland with sheep on the hill and cattle in the valley, so leads throughout, and there is a water bowl outside the estate shop.
