Florence House Hotel

Portsmouth

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A lovingly restored Edwardian house a short walk from Southsea seafront, where dogs are welcome at breakfast in a dog friendly area.

Florence House is a boutique hotel in a lovingly restored Edwardian house that has kept many original features, a short walk from Southsea seafront and five minutes from Southsea Castle, the D-Day Museum and the Pyramids Centre. The hotel is dog friendly, and this dog friendly hotel in Portsmouth makes the arrangements for a dog quick to settle.

Tell the hotel ahead of time that you're bringing a pet, and bring your dog's own bed or blanket to sleep on. After a dog has stayed, its room is rigorously cleaned so it suits allergy sufferers. The hotel's pages don't state the rooms set aside for dogs, or a limit on numbers, so check when you book.

Your dog can be with you at breakfast, in a dog friendly part of the hotel. The a la carte breakfast is served daily with a wide range of cooked options, vegan Full English among them, and there's a bar in the hotel too. The Garden Southsea, a casual restaurant, sits just behind the hotel.

The bedrooms are individually designed. The Superior Superking Room with Bath and Shower is a light, sunny room with a bay window and a high ceiling, and the Superior Suite has a luxurious superking bed for special occasions. At 0.5 miles, Southsea Beach is Wildpack's closest dog friendly beach to Florence House; read its page on the dog rules before heading down with your dog.
