1 / 8Fort Road Hotel
Margate, Kent
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A fourteen room hotel close to the beach in Margate, where small, well-trained dogs can have bowls and a wooden dog bed frame, subject to availability.
A boarding house from 1820, Fort Road Hotel was refurbished and has fourteen individually designed rooms, with views of the Margate coast from the hotel, close to the beach, the old town and the Turner Contemporary. The dog friendly hotel side of Fort Road comes with conditions: a limited number of small, well-trained dogs, in some of the rooms, at the hotel's discretion.
Bowls and a wooden dog bed frame can be provided subject to availability, so check when you book. Dogs are never left alone in the hotel room at any point during the stay. How many dogs may come to a room, Fort Road does not state.
The restaurant is Us at Fort Road, a residency in the dining room bringing a fresh take on modern bistro cooking from the people behind Pomus in Margate and Folkestone, and every rate includes a continental breakfast from the buffet table. Whether a dog can be at the table with you, Fort Road does not say, so settle that at booking.
The Roof Terrace is kept for residents, a spot to take in the view over Margate and the coast with drinks and snacks on request, and the top floor suite is high-ceilinged with large windows and mid-century furniture. On Wildpack's map the nearest dog friendly sand is Margate Main Sands at 0.1 miles, with Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve Circular Walk 4.9 miles away.
