Bungalow Hotel Dog Friendly Review

The Bungalow Hotel in Long Branch earns a Roch Rank of C for its approach to dog friendliness, and on balance it is a reasonably welcoming stop for owners travelling with their dogs. Most rooms here are dog friendly, and dogs are welcome to join you in the bar, on the terrace or patio, and in the lounge, which makes the communal areas feel genuinely inclusive rather than an afterthought. There are also green spaces and parks nearby, so a morning or evening walk is easy to arrange even though the hotel itself does not offer guidance on specific routes.

In terms of practical touches, the hotel provides a dog bed along with real food and water bowls in the room, which is a thoughtful gesture that saves owners from packing their own. Dogs may also be left alone in the room, giving guests a bit of flexibility if they need to step out without their dog in tow. The hotel's pet policy is public, so there is no guesswork involved before booking.

On the cost side, there is a $75 dog fee and a $100 refundable damage deposit, both of which are worth budgeting for in advance. A weight limit of 50 lbs applies, so larger dogs will not be able to stay, and up to three dogs are permitted per room, which suits owners travelling with more than one companion. Some owners may notice the absence of a dedicated dog space, a garden for dogs to use, or a dog wash area, and there is no restaurant access for dogs, so mealtimes with your dog are limited to the bar and lounge.

Overall, the Bungalow Hotel offers a solid, if not exhaustive, welcome for dogs. The core comforts of a bed, bowls, and access to sociable indoor and outdoor spaces are genuinely appreciated, and the transparent policy and nearby green spaces add real value. The size restriction and the combined fee and deposit are the main hurdles, but for owners with a smaller dog, this hotel offers a comfortable and honest stay.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
