No Weight LimitAubrey Park Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Aubrey Park Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is worth bearing in mind before you set your heart on this as your regular dog friendly bolthole. That said, there is genuine warmth to be found once you arrive with your dog, since you are both welcomed into the bar and out onto the terrace or patio, giving you somewhere sociable to sit together rather than being confined to your room. The garden is another useful outlet, and with green spaces and parks nearby you will have no shortage of places to walk off a long car journey. There is no weight or size limit, so whether you travel with a small terrier or a large retriever you will not be turned away on account of size, which is a genuinely reassuring headline strength for owners of bigger breeds.
Once settled in, you will find a dog bed waiting along with free treats, small touches that make the arrival feel considered rather than tacked on. Staff can offer guidance on walking routes, which is handy if you are unfamiliar with the area and want to make the most of those nearby green spaces. There is a dog fee of £25.00 per dog per stay, and given that this covers little beyond the bed and treats already mentioned, you should weigh it as a modest but not insignificant charge for what amounts to a fairly basic offering. On the plus side, there is no damage deposit to worry about, which removes one layer of financial stress, and you may bring up to three dogs per room, useful if you are travelling with a multi-dog household.
The main practical catch is that only some rooms are dog friendly, so you will need to check and book the right one rather than assuming any room will do. You also cannot leave your dog alone in the room, which means your days will need to be planned around your dog's company throughout, whether that is time in the bar, on the terrace, or out walking the recommended routes. There is no dog wash area, no bowls provided, no walking or sitting service, and no poop bags supplied, so you will need to arrive prepared for the practical side of the stay yourself. This hotel suits an owner with a well behaved, sociable dog who does not mind sticking together throughout the day and who values green space and a relaxed bar terrace over polished extras. Owners needing to leave a dog unattended, or wanting a fuller suite of dog services, should look elsewhere.
