No Weight LimitHotel Spa Les Rives Sauvages Dog Friendly Review
Hotel Spa Les Rives Sauvages in Malbuisson holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. Your dog is welcome in almost every public space, from the restaurant and bar to the lounge, terrace and hotel garden, giving you genuine freedom to enjoy the property together rather than retreating to your room at every turn. There is no weight or size limit, so large breeds are as welcome as small ones, and you may bring up to two dogs per room. The staff have had canine guest training, which sets a tone of confident, knowledgeable hospitality from the moment you arrive.
In the room your dog will find real food and water bowls, a toy, delicious treats as part of a welcome kit, and poop bags, a thoughtful set of touches that shows the hotel has considered the practical details. Dogs are welcome in all rooms except the accessible suite. You may leave your dog alone in the room for a short time. There is no damage deposit. The lakeside is right at hand for walks, with the hotel noting that you can stroll along the shore with your dog. The fee is 25 euros per night, which feels fair given the breadth of access and the in-room provisions.
There are some genuine absences to note. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, so if your dog needs one you should pack your own. There is no dog wash or shower area, worth bearing in mind after muddy lakeside walks. The hotel does not offer a dog sitting service, a dog walking service or grooming arrangements, so you will need to manage those independently. There is also no emergency vet number kept on hand. That said, the combination of generous access throughout the hotel, no size restriction and a well thought out welcome kit makes this an excellent choice for owners of any breed who want their dog fully included in a relaxing stay. Those who need specialist services or supervised care for their dog while they use the spa should look elsewhere.
