View Spa DealEar scratches for them. Head massages for you. A dog-friendly spa hotel is one that welcomes both you and your furry sidekick with open arms. Not only can your pooch stay in the room with you, they often get treated to puppy perks. Things like plush dog beds, bowls and towels to clean off muddy paws.
But some of our most dog-friendly hotels really go the extra mile. We’re talking welcome packs of organic treats, specially-created doggy menus, cocktails (no, really!) and even their own Paw Spas so no one has to miss out on the self-care. In short: our dog-friendly hotels are places where wet noses are always welcome – and no one bats an eyelid when your dinner date happens to be drooling.
Our dog and pet-friendly spa hotels offer all the relaxation of our standard stays, with a little extra love for your four-legged companion. These hotels reserve a selection of rooms for guests travelling with pets, so your dog can curl up beside you in comfort.
However, specific pet policies vary from hotel to hotel. Some venues welcome pets in the dining room, while others limit muddy paws to outdoor terraces. There may be restrictions on what size, weight or breed you can bring, and some hotels only allow one or two dogs per room. Pet fees also differ, ranging from modest to ones that might eat up a lot of your paw-ket money. Most places ask that your furry friend is a very good boy (or girl), and kept on a lead in shared spaces.
It all depends on your chosen venue. Some dog-friendly hotels keep it simple: dogs are welcome, but you'll need to pack their bed, bowls and favourite squeaky duck. Others offer full-on doggy decadence. We’re talking doggy goodie bags stuffed with treats, their own delicious food in the dining room and even pet spas where your pooch can enjoy a relaxing massage of their own.
What’s top of the pups when it comes to our dog-friendly spa hotels? It’s so hard to pick – and it all depends on your pooch’s personal preferences. Some love a country retreat with space to snuffle through leaves. Others prefer the buzz of the city. So with that in mind, here’s a little selection, from coast to coast and everywhere in between…
Coastal calm
Love to spa beside the seaside? Make sure your dog doesn’t miss out with these coastal retreats for you and your dog
The Grand Hotel Eastbourne - This fabulous five-star hotel is often referred to as "A Palace By the Sea". And, with a bed, blanket, bowl as well as Sir Woofchester welcome pack waiting for them, your pup will agree. Got a canine gourmet on your hands? Your foodie friend can dine from a menu that includes roast dinner or fish and chips. They’ll think they’ve been a very good boy (or girl).
Eden Spa at The Collingwood Hotel - Just a short stroll from Bournemouth Pier, this seaside spa is a treat for humans and hounds alike. One of only a few pet-friendly hotels in Bournemouth, two medium-sized dogs are welcome to stay in selected rooms, and they’re just minutes from sandy walks. Once they’re tired out, you can retreat to the botanical Eden Spa with its hydro pool, sauna and rainfall showers – perfect for unwinding after a paddle.
Country retreats
Rolling hills, long walks, and plenty of tail-wagging space. These countryside escapes are perfect for dogs who love the great outdoors.
Ellenborough Park - Set in 90 acres of Cotswold countryside, this idyllic 15th-century manor offers a luxurious stay – for both of you! With 14 dog-friendly rooms, as well as four Pooch Bedrooms with their own large enclosed gardens, lucky pups get access to the hotel’s Paw Spa, complete with grooming goodies and soothing sprays.
The Welcombe Hotel - Nestled on the edge of Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, waggy tails are welcome at this elegant retreat. With direct access to scenic trails, your pup will be greeted with a Sir Woofchester welcome pack while you explore the Roman-themed spa with its laconium terrarium. Dogs are welcome in the bar and gardens, but hold the doggy manicure – they can’t set a paw into the spa itself.
Champneys Eastwell Manor - A Champneys spa that accepts dogs? Now you’re talking! This Kent countryside escape blends classic charm with Champneys famous spa luxury. Dogs no bigger than a Labrador are welcome in Mews Cottage accommodation, and they can even join you for cocktails with their own bottle of dog-friendly beer or Pornstar Martini.
City boltholes
City break incoming? With these boutique boltholes, there’s no need to leave your pup behind.
Stirling Highland - Right in the heart of Stirling, this historic hotel offers cosy pet-friendly rooms and a Woof Box full of treats. After exploring the Ochil Hills or Wallace Monument, unwind in the spa’s pool, sauna or steam room. Dogs are welcome in many public areas – just not the spa itself.
Hotel du Vin Exeter - This stylish city escape offers a tranquil spa and a warm welcome for dogs. Pet-friendly rooms come with cosy beds and bowls, and you’re just steps from leafy parks and riverside walks. While your pup naps, you can enjoy TempleSpa treatments or a dip in the heated indoor/outdoor pool.
Park Plaza Cardiff - Located in the heart of the city, this hotel offers plush dog beds, treats and dog-friendly dining areas. Your dog will love a snuffle in nearby parks and along the coast. You’ll love the UV-filtered pool, steam room and indulgent treatments at Laguna Spa.
Forest retreats
For dogs who love to sniff, stroll and snooze in nature, these forest hideaways are full of charm.
Balmer Lawn Hotel & Spa - Set in the heart of the New Forest, this family-run hotel is a haven for dogs and their humans. With direct access to woodland trails, dog-friendly rooms and even a breakfast sausage for your pup each morning, it’s a tail-wagging treat. Spa facilities at the brand new New Forest Spa and Wellness Centre include indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and treatments galore.
Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club - Surrounded by 186 acres of Ashdown Forest, this country club retreat is perfect for peaceful walks and pampered stays. Dogs are welcome in Fairway Suites with private terraces, and they’ll receive a Sir Woofchester goodie bag. After you’ve both explored the estate, you can unwind in the spa’s treatment rooms and relaxation areas.
Absolutely! Many of our dog-friendly hotels go above and beyond to pamper their four-legged guests with thoughtful extras. Here are some common perks you might find:
Cosy pet beds and blankets, so your dog can snooze in style.
Dog towels: To dry muddy paws after your walkies.
Welcome packs: Biscuits, chews, and tug toys on arrival.
Doggy dining menus: Who’s for a pup-achino? Some hotels offer special menus tailored for canine tastes.
Spa treatments: A few luxury spots even offer pet spas.
Water stations: Spoiling yourself is thirsty work. You get Prosecco, but your pup gets fresh water bowls placed throughout the property.
Waste disposal areas: Convenient bins and plenty of free bags make for an easy clean-up.
Personalised welcome letters: A charming touch at upscale hotels.
Access to dog-friendly areas: Including lounges, terraces, and sometimes even the dining room.
It’s easy to sniff out your next paw-friendly escape at SpaSeekers. Just choose your favourite venue from our list of dog-friendly spa hotels, and get ready to relax with your furry companion by your side.
Found the package that’s the perfect match for your and your pal? Once you’ve booked, it’s a good idea to get in touch with the hotel directly to let them know you’ll be bringing your pup along. Dog-friendly rooms can be limited. A quick heads-up ensures everything’s ready for a tail-wagging welcome when you arrive.
Dog-friendly spa hotels welcome both you and your furry companion. While your pup won’t be joining you in the steam room, they’ll be pampered in their own way, with cosy dog beds, treats, toys, walking trails and sometimes even spa grooming treatments of their own.
If a spa isn’t listed as dog-friendly, these are strictly human-only zones. No dog beds, no paw-secco and definitely no doggy-paddling in the pool. You’ll have to leave your pup at home this time.
They can stay as long as you do – your pup isn’t getting kicked out early! Dog-friendly hotels welcome your furry companion for the full duration of your visit. They won’t ask your dog to check out before you do. Imagine the drama at reception!
Just remember to check the hotel’s pet policy before booking to avoid a surprise bill at the end of your stay. Some charge a daily rate for pets. Others ask for a one-off fee that covers the entire stay.
If you're heading to a dog-friendly spa hotel, your pup’s packing list is almost as important as yours! While many hotels provide the basics, it’s always good to bring a few home comforts to keep tails wagging…
In most dog-friendly hotels, dogs sleep right in the room with you – no lonely kennels or separate quarters for your pampered pooch! But the setup can vary depending on the hotel’s policies:
Yes, you can. In fact, it’s often encouraged! Bringing your dog’s familiar bed helps them feel secure and relaxed in a new environment. Even in pet-friendly hotels that provide dog beds or blankets, having their own scent around them can make a big difference, especially for nervous or older dogs.
The short answer is: it depends – both on the hotel’s specific policies and your dog’s own temperament. Many pet-friendly hotels allow dogs to stay in the room while you're out having spa treatments, but there are usually conditions. Some hotels permit dogs to be left alone for a few hours, not all day. Others ask that dogs be crated when unattended to prevent damage or stress. You may also be given a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign to stop housekeeping from entering unexpectedly.
While your pup may be the goodest boy (or girl), new places can be overwhelming, even for seasoned hotel-goers. If your dog tends to bark, howl, or destroy things, it might ruffle a few feathers (or pillows). A little stress can lead to little accidents – and possibly extra cleaning charges. So you might want to keep your spa visits and sightseeing trips short and sweet – for everyone’s sake!
