Swan Revived Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Swan Revived Hotel holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which might give you pause before booking, but on the ground the picture is a little more welcoming for dog owners than that score suggests. You and your dog can settle into both the bar and the lounge together, which gives the stay a sociable, relaxed feel rather than confining you to a room. Most of the rooms themselves are dog friendly, and with no weight or size limit in place you needn't worry whether your Great Dane or your terrier will be turned away. There are green spaces and parks nearby, so you'll have somewhere to walk off the day's travel, and the hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you book, meaning you know what you're getting into rather than discovering restrictions on arrival.
Day to day, there's a straightforward simplicity to how things work here. You'll pay a £20 dog fee for your stay, and with no damage deposit required on top, the financial side is at least uncomplicated, though the fee itself buys you little beyond the welcome into shared spaces, since there's no bowls, bed, treats or toys provided in the room. You can bring up to two dogs per room, which is generous for owners with more than one animal to manage. If you need to pop out, your dog may be left alone in the room, a useful flexibility for errands or meals out, though you'll want to settle your dog in beforehand given the lack of any in-room comforts like a bed or bowls to make the space feel familiar.
Where the stay falls short is in the finer detail that many dog owners now expect as standard. There's no dedicated dog space, no garden, no terrace or patio access, and the restaurant itself is off limits to dogs, so mealtimes will mean separation if you're dining in. You won't find a dog wash area, poop bags, grooming, or dog food for sale, and there's no walking guidance, dog-walking or dog-sitting service, nor staff specifically trained for canine guests, so you're largely left to manage independently. There are no dog friendly events, activities or awards to speak of, and no emergency vet number provided, which matters if you're travelling without local knowledge. This stay suits a confident, self-sufficient owner with a well-behaved dog who's happy to bring their own kit and explore the nearby green spaces unassisted; those wanting pampering, extras or on-site support should look elsewhere.
