No Weight LimitThe Popinjay Hotel & Spa Dog Friendly Review
The Popinjay Hotel & Spa holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a decent choice 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 open to dogs, which is a nice touch, and you can leave your dog alone in the room, offering some flexibility for solo outings.
Amenities are a mixed bag here. While they provide dog beds and bowls, don't count on any free treats or dog food, so pack your own goodies. The on-site garden is a major plus, giving your dog a space to stretch their legs without venturing far. Nearby parks add to the convenience, making it easy to find a good walking route.
The fee is £20 per stay, which isn't too steep, especially considering the lack of a damage deposit. However, there's a weight limit of 70 lbs, which could be a deal-breaker for owners of larger breeds like Golden Retrievers. The absence of dog-walking or sitting services means you'll need to plan your schedule around your dog's needs.
Overall, The Popinjay Hotel & Spa offers a solid experience for dog owners, but with some limitations. If you're looking for a place with a garden and don't mind the weight restrictions, it's worth considering.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
