No Weight LimitThe Village Inn of Lakefield Dog Friendly Review
The Village Inn of Lakefield holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and it offers a genuinely workable base for dog owners. There is a garden your dog may use, along with a small green space just outside the Inn, and the hotel points guests towards nearby trails and dog friendly parks for walks. Cats are also welcome to stay, and the hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you book, which makes planning straightforward.
Day to day, the room comes with real food and water bowls, though there is no dog bed provided. There is no weight or size limit on dogs staying here, and you may bring up to two dogs per room. The hotel does not take a damage deposit, though there is a charge of $25.00 per night for your dog. Your dog can also stay alone in the room while you go for supper, which gives a little flexibility during your stay. Beyond the room, your dog can use the garden and the small green space outside, with trails close by for longer walks.
The main restriction to plan around is that only some rooms are dog friendly, as the pet rooms are on the first floor, unless your dog is a service dog, in which case any room may be booked. The hotel also does not allow dogs in the bar, restaurant, terrace or lounge, and there is no dog wash area, dog food for sale, treats, dog-walking service, poop bags, grooming arrangement or dog toys provided. This stay suits an owner with one or two dogs of any size who mainly wants outdoor space and nearby trails rather than on-site extras, and who is happy booking a first floor room. Owners hoping for indoor dog friendly dining, grooming or extra amenities should look elsewhere.
