The Bristol Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Bristol Hotel is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed two of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls, and dogs are not welcome in the bar, the lounge or the restaurant. That caps the rank at F.
A number of rooms welcome dogs and dogs are welcome in the terrace. Dogs can be left alone in the room, which makes an evening out straightforward. Green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks. The hotel also runs dog friendly activities.
The dog fee is £20 per night, and there is a weight limit of 33 lb, so check ahead if you travel with a larger dog. No dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no garden or dedicated dog space on site, there is no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. This is a hotel that accepts dogs rather than one built around them, and if that changes, certification is open.

The Bristol Hotel With Your Dog · Good To Know
Is The Bristol Hotel dog friendly?
No. The Bristol Hotel allows dogs, but being allowed to bring a dog and being genuinely dog friendly are not the same thing. We assessed it against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard and it failed to meet even our minimum requirements, so it is not certified and holds our lowest rating. The review above explains where it falls short.
Is there a pet fee at The Bristol Hotel?
Yes. The Bristol Hotel charges a pet fee of £20 per night. There is no additional deposit. It is always worth confirming the current pet fee when you book, as charges can change from time to time.
Is there a weight limit for dogs at The Bristol Hotel?
Yes. Dogs up to 33 lb are welcome at The Bristol Hotel. If your dog is heavier than that, it is worth speaking to the hotel before booking to see what can be arranged.
Can I leave my dog alone in the room at The Bristol Hotel?
Yes. Dogs may be left unattended in the room at The Bristol Hotel. We would still suggest letting reception know and making sure your dog is calm and settled before you head out, so housekeeping and other guests are never caught by surprise.
Where are dogs allowed in The Bristol Hotel?
Dogs are welcome in the terrace at The Bristol Hotel. We would always suggest keeping your dog on a lead and settled in these shared spaces, out of courtesy to other guests.
