Delta Hotels Dartmouth Dog Friendly Review
Delta Hotels Dartmouth holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given how much thought has clearly gone into welcoming dogs here. This is a hotel with a genuine dog space set aside for your companion and a garden your dog can actually use, plus nearby green spaces and parks that make the surrounding area a pleasant one to explore together. The team here shares its pet policy upfront before you book, so there are no surprises on arrival, and with most rooms being dog friendly and no weight or size limit imposed, you can bring a larger breed here without a second thought. Cats are welcome too, so multi-pet households need not look elsewhere.
Day to day, the practicalities are handled with a light touch. Free treats are given out, and staff offer guidance on walking routes, which is a nice touch if you are unfamiliar with the area and want to know where to take your dog. There is no damage deposit to worry about, which removes one layer of financial anxiety from your stay, though a dog fee of $40.00 does apply, and against what is actually on offer, namely a garden, a dedicated space and treats, it is a reasonable rather than generous exchange. Notably, your dog may be left alone in the room if needed, which gives you flexibility if you need to step out without them, a genuine convenience for owners who cannot always have their dog by their side.
Where this hotel falls short is in the finer detail that would make a stay feel truly tailored to dogs. There is no dog bed, no real food or water bowls provided, and no poop bags supplied, so you will need to bring your own kit for anything beyond the basics. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, so socialising with your dog on-site is off the table, and there is no dog wash area, no grooming, and no dog-walking or dog-sitting service available should you need a hand. There is no emergency vet number on hand either, which matters if you are travelling somewhere unfamiliar. This stay suits an owner with a well-behaved, larger or unusually sized dog who values a garden and open green spaces nearby over on-site pampering; those wanting full-service extras or communal dining with their dog should look elsewhere.”
