Onsite GardenAvon Gorge by Hotel du Vin Dog Friendly Review
Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and dogs are part of the life of the hotel. Your dog is welcome in the bar, the lounge and on the terrace, and you can eat breakfast and dinner together in a designated area, as dogs are kept out of the food service areas. Every room category takes dogs apart from the Signature Suite, and the Junior Suite Bollinger and the Suite Perrier Jouet open onto a private garden overlooking the gorge.
The room comes with a comfy bed, food and water bowls and a small ball to play with, and a few poop bags are included. There are plenty of good parks and walks in Clifton, and the team suggests crossing the bridge to Ashton Court Estate, about 20 minutes away, a deer park with a dog friendly café. Staff will help you find a local groomer and enquire about an appointment during your stay. The dog fee is £25 per night, and there is no damage deposit.
The hotel takes small to medium dogs, so a large breed may not be suitable, and up to two dogs can share a room. Dogs may not be left alone in the room, so plan your outings with your dog in mind. Cats are welcome too. This suits an owner of a sociable small or medium dog who wants a lively bar, a terrace with a view and good walks close by.
