No Weight LimitDenbies Vineyard Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Denbies Vineyard Hotel in Dorking holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Set on a vineyard estate with upwards of eight miles of public footpaths, this is a hotel that places walking and outdoor time at the heart of a dog friendly stay. Dogs of any size are welcome, with no weight limit, and up to two dogs may share a room. The outdoor grounds are entirely dog friendly, there is a garden dogs may use, and a covered terrace is available for dining outdoors, weather permitting. Complimentary treats are offered at reception, and dog food is available to purchase, so you will not be caught short.
The hotel offers five dog friendly rooms, all on the ground floor of the Brokes building, giving you direct access to the vineyard trails. You may leave your dog alone in the room for a short while, which is handy if you wish to step away for dinner. Dogs are welcome in the reception, bar and lounge area, and both breakfast and dinner can be taken in the lounge, so your dog need not be left behind at mealtimes. The hotel would also love to welcome your dog to The Wine Library Brasserie and Bar. The fee is £25 per pet, per night, which feels fair given the extent of the grounds and the flexibility on dining. There is no damage deposit. The hotel keeps an emergency vet number should you need it.
The main restriction is that only five rooms are dog friendly, so availability may be limited and booking ahead is advisable. The hotel does not provide a dog wash or shower area, which is worth noting given all those footpaths across muddy vineyard terrain, and there is no dog walking service. Poop bags are not supplied, so bring your own. That said, Denbies Vineyard Hotel is an excellent choice for owners who want generous outdoor space on the doorstep, relaxed dining rules and the freedom to bring a dog of any size. If you need on-site grooming or dog sitting services, you will need to look elsewhere.
