No Weight LimitThe Old Vicarage Hotel & Restaurant Dog Friendly Review
The Old Vicarage Hotel & Restaurant is not certified. Assessed against the Roch Dog Friendly Standard, it did not meet our minimum requirements for certification. That caps the rank at F.
The Old Vicarage Hotel & Restaurant offers a genuinely warm welcome to dogs, with access to the bar, restaurant, terrace and lounge so owners need not be confined to their bedroom during a stay. There is a garden dogs may use, and green spaces and parks nearby offer further options for a walk. Practical touches include a dog bed, proper food and water bowls, and free treats on arrival. Most rooms are dog friendly, there is no weight or size limit on dogs staying, no damage deposit is required, and up to two dogs are permitted per room.
Some notable gaps remain. There is no dedicated dog space or dog wash and shower area for owners to use after a muddy walk, and poop bags are not provided. The hotel does not offer a dog-walking or dog-sitting service, so owners needing help while out for the day will have to make their own arrangements. Dogs may not be left alone in the room, which limits flexibility for those wanting to dine or explore without their dog. There is no dog food available to buy on site, so owners should come prepared with their own supplies.
