No Weight LimitStar Castle Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Star Castle Hotel received an acceptable C Roch Rank. While the hotel offers a decent experience for dog owners, there are some limitations to be aware of. Dogs are welcome in the bar, though not in the restaurant, terrace or lounge. Dogs also cannot be left alone in the rooms, so you'll need to plan your outings accordingly.
On the plus side, the hotel provides water and food bowls, a blanket, towel, and food mat, though you'll need to bring your own dog food or purchase it from the local Co-op. The large garden area is a major perk, offering plenty of space for your four-legged friend to roam. Additionally, the nearby Garrison walk provides beautiful scenery for dog walks, making it a highlight of the stay.
There are no weight restrictions or limits on the number of dogs per room, which is a relief for owners of larger breeds or multiple dogs. Dog walking and grooming can be arranged, though there is no dog-sitting service. The restrictions on access to public areas might make you think twice if you're looking for a more inclusive experience.
Overall, Star Castle Hotel offers an adequate stay for dog owners, but be prepared for some limitations. The garden and nearby walks are definite advantages, but the restrictions on where dogs can go might be a dealbreaker for some.
