How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 8 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Pennylands Willow Lodge is a peaceful whole-lodge retreat on the edge of Broadway, and it makes an easy, low-stress base for a Cotswolds break with a dog. Because you have the entire property to yourselves, there are no shared corridors or communal areas to work around, which takes a lot of the usual worry out of travelling with a pet.
Dogs are part of the welcome here rather than an afterthought. One well-behaved dog is welcome per stay, and guests travelling with a dog have found a thoughtful doggie welcome pack waiting alongside the one laid on for their owners. The owners have a reputation for being helpful and accommodating, so it is worth getting in touch directly before you book to confirm the current pet arrangements and anything your dog might need.
The setting is a real strength for anyone with a dog to walk. The lodge sits tucked away and quiet, yet it is within walking distance of Broadway village, so you can head straight out on foot rather than driving to a walk first. Guests regularly mention the outlook over open fields, with rabbits and deer often in view, and the wider Cotswold countryside gives you plenty of longer routes on the doorstep.
A couple of things to keep in mind. This is a small, owner-run lodge rather than a hotel with round-the-clock staff, so it suits dog owners who are happy to be self-sufficient, and the Wi-Fi can be patchy in places. For a quiet, spacious countryside stay where your dog is genuinely part of the plan, Pennylands Willow Lodge earns a 4.4/5 paw rating.
