Onsite GardenThe Oaks Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Oaks Hotel scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While the hotel does allow dogs, the experience is far from ideal. Only a few rooms are dog friendly, so calling ahead is a must. Dogs are welcome in the lounge and public areas, but not in the restaurant or terrace, which limits your dining options. The ability to leave your dog alone in the room is a plus, offering some flexibility for solo outings.
Amenities are sparse—no dog beds or bowls are provided, so pack your own essentials. The lack of a dedicated dog space or garden is a letdown, especially in a city setting where green spaces are scarce. Nearby parks are not mentioned, which could mean a trek for a decent walk.
The fee is £15 per dog, per night, which adds up quickly, especially with minimal amenities. There's no weight limit, but a two-dog maximum per room might cramp the style of multi-dog families. A £100 damage deposit is required, increasing the upfront cost and adding a layer of hassle.
In summary, The Oaks Hotel offers the basics but falls short on delivering a truly dog friendly experience. The fees and restrictions outweigh the benefits, making it a less appealing choice for dog owners.
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.
