No Weight LimitOcean Beach Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Ocean Beach Hotel is certified dog friendly under the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, where it holds a Rank D. On the Bournemouth seafront it does the simple things a dog owner actually wants on a coast trip.
Dogs are welcome on the terrace, they are allowed in the garden, and they can stay in the room on their own. Real food and water bowls are provided, and the pet policy is published so the rules are clear before you book. There is no weight or size limit, so large breeds are welcome.
The rest is bare. Only a few of the rooms take dogs, so book early and book the right one. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant or lounge, there is no dedicated dog space, no dog bed, no treats, toys or poop bags, and no guidance on local walking routes. There is no dog walking, sitting or grooming service, and no emergency vet number kept at the desk. Cats are not accepted.
The dog fee is £20.00 per night per dog, with no damage deposit, and up to two dogs may share a room.
Roch Score: 14/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
