Dog friendly T’s & C’s

It’s a huggy – dog world

We are very lucky to be in such an amazing location for your four-legged friends. With the beach on our doorstep and the gardens even closer, your pet will be sure to be wagging it’s tail all day long x

To book your best friend to stay with you, just add it as an extra when you book to stay in room 1. 

HOTEL FACILITIES

So, room 1 is our dog-friendly room. It will have a cosy, warm doggy bed in there ready for you, but if your pet prefers their own bed – please do not hesitate to bring that with you. 

We also have dog bowls for water, and we sell cans of Lily’s Kitchen food behind the bar if you have forgotten to bring your pup some grub. Lily’s Kitchen tastes awesome to doggies, and is packed with proper meat and veg that is vetinary approved.

WHERE TO WALK

The best one – the BEACH! Our paw-fect friends love the sand and the sea, whatever the weather. Boscombe beach is just a five minute walk down the hill from our lovely hotel, and Bournemouth pier & town center is only a leisurely 40 minute walk along the beach. Check the Bournemouth website to see when dogs are allowed off the lead to free-roam the beach.

Slades Farm – in the lovely talbot village, there is actually a doggy play park ran by Bournemouth council. You’d most likely need a car to reach this one x

Bournemouth tree trail is another amazing route for humans and their four legged friends. The trail gives your pup a good two hour walk, and you’ll get to see the various beautiful gardens that Bournemouth is home to. You’ll all kinds of wildlife along the way, and you could even stop off at our dog-friendly sister venue, Urban Garden, for a half-way pit stop. Learn more about it here.

WHERE TO REST

Bournemouth is definitely a doggy town. Our favourite, dog-friendly bars, cafes and restaurants (apart from our very own!) are:

– Urban Reef, cafe, bar & restaurant. They are our sister venue living on Boscombe beach, just five minutes down the road.

– Cafe Bosconova in Boscombe. Dogs are allowed inside and outside, perfect for a more in-land experience.

– Urban Garden – a cafe, bar and restaurant in Bournemouth Gardens. The tree-top terraces are perfect for doggies that prefer grass to sand.

PET SHOPS & VETS

We hope your little buddy doesn’t fall ill, but if they do – the nearest vets to us is Spring Corner vets. There are tonnes of shops on Boscombe high street where you can purchase goodies for your pet too – for example Wilko, Poundstretcher, Sainsbury’s etc. Please ask a member of staff if you’d like some more info – a lot of them are pet owners in the local area themselves x
