No Weight LimitSecond Nature Chiswick Dog Friendly Review
Second Nature Chiswick holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why dog owners rate it highly. The hotel describes itself as entirely dog friendly, welcoming dogs into the bar, restaurant and lounge alike, with no weight or size limit on the dogs it accepts. A park is just around the corner, giving you somewhere close by for walks, and the hotel also offers guidance on walking routes and keeps an emergency vet number to hand, which gives a reassuring sense of a hotel genuinely set up for dogs rather than merely tolerating them.
Day to day, all of the hotel's rooms accommodate dogs, and they do so at no extra charge, with up to two dogs allowed per room. The hotel can provide a bowl for your dog, though it does not offer pet food, so you will need to bring your own. If your dog is well behaved and will not bark, you are able to leave him alone in the room, which is useful if your plans take you somewhere he cannot follow. The hotel shares its pet policy before booking, and cats are also welcome to stay, so mixed-animal households are catered for too.
The main drawback is a refundable damage deposit, taken as a pre-authorisation from all guests at check-in regardless of whether a dog is travelling, at £50. There is no terrace or garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space or wash area, and the hotel does not supply poop bags, treats, toys or arrange grooming, dog walking or pet sitting. This suits an owner with a calm, well-behaved dog who is happy with simple, straightforward dog friendly stays built around free access rather than extras, particularly those who value nearby green space and flexible room access. Owners wanting on-site dog pampering, grooming or a private outdoor space for their dog should look elsewhere.
