Holiday Inn Lancaster, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Lancaster scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. This place is not exactly rolling out the red carpet for your four-legged friend. Dogs are allowed in the lounge and public areas, but forget about dining with your pup in the restaurant or enjoying a drink together at the bar. The £15 per night fee isn't outrageous, but with no beds, bowls, or treats provided, it feels like you're paying for the privilege of having your dog tolerated rather than welcomed. Leaving your dog alone in the room is a plus, offering some flexibility for solo outings. However, the lack of a garden or dedicated dog space means you'll need to venture out for walks. Fortunately, there are public green spaces nearby, which is a saving grace in this otherwise lackluster setup. The absence of weight restrictions is a rare positive, allowing larger breeds like Labradors to stay without issue. But with no dog-walking or sitting services, you're on your own for pet care. Overall, this hotel feels more like a grudgingly dog-allowing establishment rather than a truly dog-friendly one. 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 in order to fairly derive its rank.
