Swan & Railway Hotel Wigan, Wigan: Certified Dog-Friendly Rank & Review
Swan & Railway Hotel Wigan scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a stay with your four-legged friend, brace yourself for some limitations. Only a few rooms are dog-friendly, so booking ahead is a must. Dogs are confined to the rooms, which means no lounging in the bar or enjoying the terrace. Leaving your dog alone in the room is allowed, a small mercy for those needing a break.
Amenities are sparse—no dog beds or bowls provided, so pack your own essentials. The hotel does offer free treats, a small gesture that doesn't quite make up for the lack of other comforts. On the plus side, there's a garden for your dog to stretch their legs, and nearby parks offer some relief for city-bound pups.
The fee situation is a mixed bag. Dogs stay for free, which is a rare and welcome perk. However, there's a £50 damage deposit, adding to the upfront cost. The two-dog limit per room is reasonable, but the absence of weight restrictions is a plus for owners of larger breeds.
In summary, while the Swan & Railway Hotel Wigan offers some conveniences, the overall experience is underwhelming for dog owners. The free stay is a highlight, but the lack of amenities and limited access make it a less-than-ideal choice.
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.

Enjoy this lovely wooded trail as you wind from Milford Common to Coppice Hill, making your way through Cannock Chase. Keep an eye out for wildlife in the common and between the trees, but take care on the rougher sections of this trail, especially in wetter conditions when the paths become very muddy. Appropriate footwear is required.
