The Hermitage Hotel Dog Friendly Review
The Hermitage Hotel is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it missed one of our minimum requirements: dogs are not provided with food and water bowls. That caps the rank at F.
Most rooms welcome dogs, one dog to a room, and dogs are welcome in the bar. The dog fee is £20 per night, and there is a weight limit of 22 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, dogs cannot be left alone in the room, 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.
