No Weight LimitCrown and Garter Dog Friendly Review
Crown and Garter holds an acceptable C Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, up to two to a room, and yours is welcome in the bar, the restaurant and the garden, so it is with you for the evening. There is no weight limit, dogs stay free, the hotel puts out free treats, and dog walking can be arranged.
There is no dog bed, toys or poo bags, and staff have not been trained for canine guests. Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so an evening out is one your dog comes along to. Pack a set of bowls and the day is otherwise well covered.
This is an acceptable stay for an owner who wants a free, welcoming country inn with the dog in the bar and restaurant and does not need to leave it alone. Warm on welcome, light on kit.

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