South Lodge holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a solid choice for dog owners looking for a welcoming stay. Most rooms are dog-friendly, so availability shouldn't be a hassle. Dogs are welcome in the bar and on the terrace, but not in the main restaurant. However, the hotel offers a thoughtful option to dine with your dog in the lounge by the Camellia Restaurant, which is a nice touch.
The hotel provides a personalized welcome for your four-legged friend, including treats, a bed, a bowl, a towel, and a toy. This is a great perk, as it saves you from packing extra items. The £40 per dog per stay fee is reasonable, especially considering the amenities provided. There’s no weight limit, which is a relief for owners of larger breeds like Labradors. However, there is a two-dog limit per room, so plan accordingly if you have a pack.
The 93 acres of grounds are a major plus, offering plenty of space for walks and exploration. Just be mindful of the ponds and grazing areas. The hotel provides maps and guidance, which is a thoughtful service. While there’s no on-site dog shower or grooming services, the overall experience is pleasant and accommodating.
In summary, South Lodge offers a good balance of amenities and access for dog owners. The welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful touches make it a worthwhile stay, despite a few limitations.
