Hanover Inn Dartmouth Dog Friendly Review
Hanover Inn Dartmouth holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given how much thought has gone into welcoming dogs in the ways that matter most to a daily routine. You'll find dogs are genuinely welcome on the terrace and patio, giving your dog somewhere to settle outside without fuss, and the surrounding green spaces and parks nearby mean you're never short of somewhere proper to stretch legs before or after a long day. The hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you even book, so you can plan your stay with confidence rather than guesswork. There's no weight or size limit either, which opens the door to owners of larger breeds who often find themselves turned away elsewhere.
Once you've arrived, the practical side of the stay is handled with a decent level of care. Your room comes with a proper dog bed along with real food and water bowls, so you won't be relying on makeshift arrangements, and free treats are provided as a nice touch on arrival. Staff offer guidance on walking routes, which is useful if you don't know the area, and poop bags are supplied so you're not caught short. You can leave your dog alone in the room if needed, giving you the freedom to nip out without a dog in tow. There's no damage deposit to worry about, which takes some of the financial anxiety out of the stay, though you will pay $50 a night per dog, a fee that feels steep set against a fairly modest list of extras. Up to two dogs per room is a workable arrangement for owners with more than one dog.
The main catch is that only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you'll need to confirm this at booking rather than assuming any room will do. There's no bar, restaurant or lounge access for dogs, no dedicated dog space or garden, and no wash area, meaning a muddy dog after a walk has nowhere convenient to be cleaned up before heading back inside. There's no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no grooming, no toys and no staff specifically trained for canine guests, so this isn't a hotel that will look after your dog for you. This suits an independent owner with one or two well-behaved dogs who mainly wants decent basics, outdoor access and honesty about policy before arrival. Owners wanting pampering, indoor social spaces or staff-led dog care should look elsewhere.
