No Weight LimitMercure Daventry Court Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Mercure Daventry Court Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog owners seeking a straightforward, well organised stay. The hotel offers a courtyard with a grass area that doubles as both a dedicated dog space and a garden your dog can use, and dogs are welcome to sit with you in the bar area. Staff point guests towards Daventry Country Park for walking, which suggests a genuinely useful local green space rather than a vague gesture, and the hotel shares its pet policy with you before you even book, so there are no surprises on arrival.
All of the hotel's rooms welcome dogs, and there is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size are accepted, with up to two dogs allowed per room. There is a dog fee of £20 per pet, per stay, and no damage deposit is taken, though any damage caused during the stay may be charged upon check out if it is not reported. The hotel keeps a small tin of treats behind the front desk rather than leaving them out in rooms. You may leave your dog alone in the room, provided the do not disturb sign is displayed and the dog is kept in a cage while unattended, which housekeeping relies on to avoid disturbing him.
There is no dog bed, no real food or water bowls, no poop bags provided, and no dog-walking service, grooming, sitting arrangement or dog toys on offer, so you will need to bring your own kit and make your own arrangements for exercise beyond the courtyard and country park. Dogs are also not welcome in the restaurant, terrace or lounge, which limits where you can take him around the hotel's public spaces. This suits an owner with a well behaved, crate trained dog who is happy with a simple, no frills stay built around a courtyard and nearby country park walks, rather than one looking for extra pampering, dedicated dog amenities or dining with their dog beside them.
