No Weight LimitGisborough Hall Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Gisborough Hall Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly stays, and it has some genuine strengths to recommend it. Dogs are permitted within the grounds of the hotel, giving your dog outdoor space to use without leaving the property, and the hotel sits close to Guisborough forest for longer walks, which doubles as useful guidance on where to exercise your dog beyond the gardens. There is no weight or size limit, so owners of larger breeds need not worry about being turned away, and the hotel is upfront in sharing its pet policy before you book, which makes planning the stay straightforward.
In the room itself, a dog bed is provided along with real food and water bowls, and your dog will find some treats waiting on arrival as a welcoming touch. Dogs are only permitted in the bedroom and the outside grounds of the hotel, so this defines where your dog can accompany you day to day. If you head down for dinner or breakfast, the hotel kindly asks that your dog is left in the bedroom, though room service is available if that suits you better. The dog fee is £15.00 per night, per dog, which is reasonable given the inclusions, and up to two dogs per room are permitted.
The main restriction to plan around is that only four of the woodland wing bedrooms are dog friendly, so availability for dog owners is limited and early booking matters. The hotel does not allow dogs in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, so meals and socialising mean leaving your dog behind in the room. There is no dog wash area, no poop bags provided, and no dog-walking or sitting services arranged by the hotel. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved dog comfortable being left in the bedroom during meals, who values forest walks and garden access over indoor socialising. Owners wanting their dog with them at mealtimes or needing extra on-site services should look elsewhere.
