Auberge du Draveur Dog Friendly Review
Auberge du Draveur holds a failing F Roch Rank, which is a sobering start for any dog owner weighing up a stay here, yet there is more to the picture than that grade suggests. The hotel welcomes dogs into its lounge, giving you somewhere communal to settle with your dog rather than being confined to a bedroom, and it sits within reach of green spaces and parks nearby, so you will have somewhere pleasant to stretch your dog's legs before or after a long drive. There is no weight or size limit, which means owners of larger breeds are not turned away as they so often are elsewhere, and the hotel is upfront about sharing its pet policy before you book, so you can plan your stay with clear expectations rather than surprises on arrival.
Day to day, the practicalities are a mixed bag but not without their charms. Free treats are provided, a small touch that dogs will appreciate even if it does not stretch to a full kit of bowls or bedding. Your dog may be left alone in the room, which gives you the freedom to head out for a meal or an errand without arranging cover, though only some rooms are designated dog friendly rather than the whole property, so you will need to confirm this at booking rather than assuming any room will do. A refundable damage deposit is charged, but the hotel does not disclose the amount upfront, which makes it harder to budget precisely for your stay. On top of that, there is a dog fee of $20 per animal per night, a modest sum against the backdrop of free treats and lounge access, though it buys little beyond that.
The restrictions here matter and should shape your expectations. There is no bar, restaurant or terrace access for dogs, no garden or dedicated dog space, and no dog wash area, so exercise and toileting will depend entirely on the nearby green spaces rather than anything on site. There are no bowls, no dog food for sale, no walking routes suggested, and no dog walking or sitting service, so you will need to bring your own supplies and be prepared to manage your dog's routine independently. Poop bags, grooming, toys and staff trained for canine guests are all absent, as are dog friendly activities, events, awards or media coverage, and there is no emergency vet number provided nor any charity support tied to the stay. This is best suited to a confident, self sufficient owner with a well behaved dog who needs little more than a comfortable lounge and nearby parkland; those wanting a fully equipped, staffed dog experience should look elsewhere.
