No Weight LimitHogarths Stone Manor Dog Friendly Review
Hogarths Stone Manor holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for a dog owner weighing up a stay here, that rating feels fair given what is on offer. This is a hotel that clearly wants dogs to feel part of the visit rather than tolerated on the sidelines: your dog is welcome in the bar, on the terrace and in the lounge, so you are not confined to your room for company. There is a garden your dog can use and a dedicated dog space set aside within the hotel, which gives a sense of somewhere to settle rather than just pass through. With green spaces and parks nearby, and guidance on walking routes available, you will not struggle to fill the day with proper exercise. Cats also stay here, so a multi-species household need not book elsewhere.
Day to day, the practicalities are handled sensibly. Real food and water bowls are provided, so you need not pack your own, and there is no weight or size limit, meaning larger breeds are just as welcome as small ones. Up to three dogs per room are permitted, useful if you are travelling with more than one. The dog fee is £30 per night, which is worth weighing against the access you get to the bar, terrace, garden and lounge, since that is a reasonable amount of shared space for the money. A refundable damage deposit of £50.00 is also charged, returned assuming no damage occurs, which is a fair enough safeguard rather than a hidden cost. Your dog may be left alone in the room if needed, giving you some flexibility to step out without arranging anything special.
The main restriction to know before booking is that only some rooms are dog friendly, not all, so you will need to check and reserve the right room type rather than assume any will do. There is no dog wash or shower area, so a muddy walk means towelling off yourself rather than relying on hotel facilities. Grooming is not offered either, so any trim or tidy-up before or during your stay will need arranging elsewhere. There is no restaurant access for dogs, no dog bed, food, treats or toys supplied, and no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, so you are largely self-sufficient for extras beyond the shared spaces. This stay suits an owner with a well-behaved, self-contained dog who is happy with communal areas and doesn't need pampering extras, rather than someone hoping for a full-service, dog-pampered break.
