Onsite GardenBells Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Bells Hotel received a failing F Roch Rank. This place is a tough sell for dog owners. While they do allow large dogs up to the size of a Labrador, the restrictions are pretty tight. Dogs are confined to the rooms, with no access to the bar, restaurant, terrace, or any public areas. This means your four-legged friend will miss out on the social scene, and you'll be juggling your time between your dog and enjoying the hotel's amenities.
The £15 per night fee isn't outrageous, but considering the lack of perks like dog beds, bowls, or treats, it feels like you're paying for the privilege of having your dog stay in the room. There's no garden or dedicated dog space, so you'll need to venture out for walks. Luckily, there are public green spaces nearby, which is a saving grace in this scenario.
On the service front, don't expect much. There's no dog-walking or sitting services, and the staff isn't trained to handle dogs. The absence of an emergency vet on call is another downside, leaving you to fend for yourself in case of any mishaps. With a limit of two dogs per room, it's not the best choice for those traveling with a pack.
In summary, Bells Hotel doesn't offer much for dog owners. The restrictions and lack of amenities make it a less-than-ideal choice. If you're looking for a truly dog friendly experience, you might want to look elsewhere.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
