No Weight LimitHoliday Inn Lancaster Dog Friendly Review
Holiday Inn Lancaster holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. Dogs are welcome in the bar, the lounge and the garden, so your dog stays at your side rather than waiting upstairs. There is no weight limit, dogs can be left alone in the room, and staff can point you to the local walking routes.
The dog fee is £15 per night. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Bring your own bowls and it does the job. This is a thin stay lifted by the run of the bar and garden and the freedom to leave a settled dog, best for an owner who packs their own kit.
