Bras d'Or Lakes Inn Dog Friendly Review
Bras d'Or Lakes Inn holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a pity given some genuinely useful touches for dog owners. There is a garden your dog can use, and the inn offers guidance on local walking trails, with staff able to show you the way when you arrive. Treats are offered if your dog fancies one, and the inn shares its pet policy with you before you book, so there are no surprises on arrival. There is no weight limit on dogs staying here, which opens the inn up to owners of larger breeds who often struggle to find a bed elsewhere.
Day to day, one room at the inn is set aside as dog friendly, and up to two dogs are permitted in that room. There is a $25 fee for one dog, which is reasonable, alongside a $150 refundable damage deposit collected at check-in. Your dog may use the garden, and you can take him out along the nearby walking trails with staff pointing you in the right direction. He may be left alone in the room for short periods, such as during dinner, provided you are confident he will settle. Cats are also welcome to stay, should that matter to a multi-pet household, and the inn supports a dog charity.
The drawbacks are worth weighing before you book. Only one room at the inn is dog friendly, so availability may be tight, and a refundable damage deposit is charged on top of the dog fee. The inn does not provide a dog bed, bowls, toys or dog food, there is no dog-walking service, poop bags are not supplied, and dogs are not permitted in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge. This is a stay best suited to an owner with a well settled, sociable dog who is happy to be left briefly in the room and content with a garden and nearby trails rather than indoor extras. Owners wanting a fully kitted out dog friendly room, or who need their dog to join them for meals, should look elsewhere.
