Hampshire has plenty of dog-friendly rooms to choose from but some of the most popular include the Thatched Cottage Hotel, Penny Farthing Hotel and Cottages, and Roost.
The Forest Park Country Hotel and Inn and The Elizabeth House Hotel both offer private parking on-site.
This will depend on the hotel you choose, your preferred travel dates and how long you stay for. However, if you have a budget, we can recommend accommodation options to suit.
Again, this will depend on the hotel you choose. Typically, dog-friendly hotels have access to dog beds, bowls, treats, and dog blankets. Pet parents can enjoy soft beds, coffee and tea making facilities, and en-suite bathrooms.
If you’re looking for a romantic retreat, we say choose either the Angel & Blue Pig or The Stag Hotel.
