Selkirk Arms Hotel
Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, United Kingdom · 4 Star Hotel
Selkirk Arms Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Selkirk Arms Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank. A number of rooms take dogs, up to two to a room, yours is welcome in the lounge and the garden, and there is a dedicated dog space on site, so it is with you for the evening. Dogs can be left alone in the room and an emergency vet number is kept at the desk.
The dog fee is £10 per night, and a weight restriction applies, so check ahead with a larger dog. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Bring your own bowls and green spaces and parks are close by. This is a stay lifted by the run of the lounge and garden, a dog space and the freedom to leave a settled dog at a low fee, best for an owner who packs their own kit.
Roch Score: 14/77. This hotel does not meet 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.
