Holiday Inn Express Bicester Dog Friendly Review
Holiday Inn Express Bicester holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. Dogs are welcome in the bar, the restaurant and the lounge, so your dog stays at your side rather than waiting upstairs. There is no weight limit, so a big dog is treated the same as a small one.
The dog fee is £30 per stay. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so your dog stays with you, though green spaces and parks are close by. This is a thin stay lifted by the run of the public rooms, best for an owner who keeps the dog close and packs their own bowls.
