Surrey's Great Fosters Hotel Just a few of the royal markers in the lengthy history of this Tudor estate include Henry VIII's use of it as a hunting lodge, an original royal crest of Queen Elizabeth above the main doorway, and a visit from Queen Mary in 1931. Pets and their owners may now enjoy regal heritage, great cuisine, and strolling the famed gardens near Windsor. To book, go to booking.com. Gloucestershire's Thornbury Castle Designed and built by Edward Stafford, the only man with the king's money and prestige at the time, this 16th-century castle turned hotel was a display of luxury and ambition that Henry VIII did not like. As a result, once Stafford was found guilty of treason, the king assumed control of the castle, which temporarily served as a refuge for Henry and Anne Boleyn. Four-legged visitors may now enjoy prepared breakfast and majestic strolls across 14 acres of unspoilt gardens like canine royalty. To book, go to booking.com. Wales' Palé Hall Hotel Visit petspyjamas.com to make a reservation. Hampshire's Lainston House Previously known as Charles II's and his mistress Louise de Keroualle's home before his death in 1685, this historical gem is now a five-star luxury country house hotel in Winchester where modern-day furry aristocracy can indulge in lavish interiors, an award-winning restaurant, and stunning location.

Cowley Manor in Gloucestershire The property on which this modern country house hotel stands was formerly owned by the monarchs of England and was traded by Edward the Confessor in exchange for the land on which Westminster Abbey was built.
