No Weight LimitThe Harcourt Arms Dog Friendly Review
The Harcourt Arms holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This charming spot offers a decent experience for dog owners, with most rooms welcoming your four-legged friends. However, don't expect to bring your dog to the restaurant or terrace, as they're off-limits. The lounge and public areas are more accommodating, allowing dogs to join you there. A big plus is that dogs can stay in the room on their own, giving you the freedom to explore without worry.
Amenities are a mixed bag. Dog beds, bowls and free treats are provided, though no dog food, so pack accordingly. There's an on-site garden, and the nearby public green spaces are a boon for walks. The hotel doesn't offer dog-walking or sitting services, which could be a hassle if you're planning a long day out.
The fee is £25 per stay, which isn't steep, but with limited amenities, it might feel a bit much. On the bright side, there's no weight limit, so your Labrador or Golden Retriever is welcome. The absence of a damage deposit is a relief, making the stay more straightforward.
In summary, The Harcourt Arms provides a good, if not outstanding, dog friendly experience. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a place where your dog can relax in the room while you enjoy the local sights.
