No Weight LimitThe Royal Oak Dog Friendly Review
The Royal Oak 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, with up to two dogs to a room, dogs are welcome in the bar, the restaurant, the lounge and the garden, so you are not shut away at mealtimes, and there is a dedicated dog space on site. There is no weight limit, so a big dog is treated the same as a small one, and dogs can be left alone in the room. Green spaces and parks are close by, with staff on hand to point you to the good walks.
The dog fee is £15 a week. No dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags are provided, there is no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not had formal training for canine guests. Pack a set of bowls and this is a comfortable stay for a dog, and certification needs only that gap closed.

The Royal Oak With Your Dog · Good To Know
Is The Royal Oak dog friendly?
No. The Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak?
Yes. The Royal Oak charges a pet fee of £15 a week. 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.
How many dogs can stay per room at The Royal Oak?
Up to 2 dogs are permitted per room at The Royal Oak. It is always worth confirming the details with the hotel when you book.

No. The Royal Oak has no weight limit, so dogs of any size can stay.
Can I leave my dog alone in the room at The Royal Oak?
Yes. Dogs may be left unattended in the room at The Royal Oak. 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 Royal Oak?
Dogs are welcome in several public areas at The Royal Oak, including the bar, restaurant, lounge and garden. We would always suggest keeping your dog on a lead and settled in these shared spaces, out of courtesy to other guests.
