No Weight LimitFer à Cheval Dog Friendly Review
Fer à Cheval holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dogs and their owners. This Megève hotel welcomes dogs into almost every part of its premises, including the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, with only the spa off limits. Although it sits in the town centre rather than amid open country, mountain spaces can be reached on foot in under ten minutes, giving your dog a proper stretch of the legs without needing transport.
Most room types accept dogs, and a basket bed along with food and water bowls are set up in the room for your dog's stay. You may leave your dog alone in the room, though the hotel asks to be reachable in case he barks or other guests raise concerns. Beyond the bedroom, your dog is free to join you in the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge, making this a stay where he need not be left behind for meals or evenings out. The dog fee is 30 euros per night, a fair charge given how much of the hotel is opened up to your dog.
There is no garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space and no dog wash or shower area. The hotel does not sell dog food, offer free treats, give guidance on walking routes, arrange dog walking or sitting, provide poop bags, arrange grooming or supply toys. There is no record of staff having had canine guest training, nor of dog friendly activities, events or awards. This suits an owner with a calm, well socialised dog who is happy pottering between the room and the hotel's shared spaces, and who can manage walks independently in the nearby mountain paths. Owners wanting a dedicated outdoor area, dog-specific extras or organised activities for their dog should look elsewhere.

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