The Dundas Arms - 4-Star Hotel in Kintbury

The Dundas Arms offers eight en-suite rooms decorated in a country house style, with river view rooms that open onto a private patio overlooking the water. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and complimentary Noble Isle toiletries in the bathroom. Dog-friendly rooms come with pet baskets, pet bowls, and direct access to the garden and canal path.

The on-site restaurant serves award-winning seasonal menus crafted from locally sourced produce, with a full English breakfast made from fresh local ingredients each morning. The formal Kennet and Garden Rooms offer an à la carte menu, while the private dining room provides uninterrupted views of the river and garden. Guests can also enjoy real ales from Butcombe Brewery at the Victorian oak bar or dine alfresco in the canal-side garden.

The hotel welcomes dogs with pet baskets, pet bowls, and designated dog-friendly rooms that have direct garden access. The extensive garden and canal-side paths provide walking routes directly from the property.

A dedicated children's menu is available for younger guests, and the hotel's garden offers a safe outdoor space for families to relax.
