Chestnut Hill Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Chestnut Hill Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given its genuinely promising location for dog owners. The surrounding area is a well-known dog-walking spot, described as safe and dog friendly, with grass patches and clean sidewalks for everyday strolls. Behind the hotel there is a dog friendly area near Fareway by Market Place, where your dog can roam while you take in a nice waterfall, and the hotel shares its pet policy, including a Pet Liability Waiver, before you even book.
Day to day, most rooms here have had a dog in them, and there is no size limit on the dogs allowed to stay, which opens the hotel up to owners with larger breeds. You may leave your dog alone in the room while you are out, though if you want housekeeping to service the room your dog will need to be crated. No damage deposit is taken, which removes one layer of upfront cost, and up to two dogs per room are permitted, making this a workable base for owners travelling with more than one dog. No fee is specified, so budget accordingly until you confirm one directly.
The drawbacks are mostly about where your dog cannot go and what is not provided. Dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, and there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, food or water bowls, dog food, treats, toys, a dog wash area or poop bags, nor does it offer dog walking, sitting, grooming arrangements or dog friendly activities and events. This is a solid choice for an owner whose dog is happy to walk off site and settle into a room with minimal extras, but anyone wanting on-site dog amenities, communal dog friendly spaces or added services should look elsewhere.
