Mitre Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Mitre Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which sits oddly against a welcome that is, in several respects, genuinely warm for a travelling dog. Your dog is welcome alongside you in both the restaurant and the lounge, so mealtimes and quiet evenings need not mean leaving them behind, and there is a dedicated dog space set aside for them too. The hotel places no weight or size limit on who can stay, meaning a small terrier and a large hound are equally at home, and it will take up to two dogs to a room. Green spaces and parks lie nearby, and the staff offer guidance on walking routes, so you can head out with a clear sense of where to go rather than wandering unfamiliar streets in search of a decent stretch of grass.
Settling in is made easier by a proper bit of kit: a dog bed waits in the room, real food and water bowls save you packing your own, and there are free treats to greet your dog on arrival. The pet policy is published openly, so you can read exactly where you stand before you book rather than discovering the rules at check-in. The charge is £30 per dog, per night, which is steep given that beyond the bed, bowls and treats there is little else laid on, though the absence of any damage deposit softens the blow and spares you an upfront hold on your card. Only some rooms are dog friendly rather than the whole hotel, so it is worth confirming you have secured one of them when you book, particularly if you are travelling with two dogs and need the space to suit both.
The restrictions are worth weighing honestly. Your dog may not be left alone in the room at any point, which ties you to their company throughout the stay, so plan your outings around places they can join you rather than any you cannot. There is no bar access for dogs and no terrace or patio where they are welcome, no garden for them to use, and no dog wash or shower area to rinse off muddy paws after those nearby walks; equally there is no dog-walking or dog-sitting service, no poop bags, no toys and no food for sale, so you must bring your own supplies. This suits an owner who wants their dog at their side for restaurant and lounge time and is happy to handle walks and care themselves, but anyone needing on-site services, outdoor dog space or the freedom to pop out alone should look elsewhere.
