Melville Castle Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Melville Castle Hotel is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed two of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls, and dogs are not welcome in the bar or the lounge. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, with up to two dogs to a room, and dogs are welcome in the restaurant and the garden, so your dog stays at your side rather than waiting upstairs. There is no weight limit. The hotel provides a dog bed and poo bags for walks.
The dog fee is £20 per stay. No treats or toys are provided, there is no dog walking or sitting service, dogs cannot be left alone in the room, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. This is a hotel that accepts dogs rather than one built around them, and if that changes, certification is open.
