1 / 8Hotel du Vin Exeter
Exeter, Devon
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A boutique hotel in a former eye infirmary near Exeter's Cathedral Green, where a dog bed, bowls and a treat bag are laid on for dogs.
Hotel du Vin Exeter, a red brick building close to Cathedral Green, is housed in a former eye infirmary, once the west wing of the eye hospital, with historic walled gardens. For a city stay with a dog, this dog friendly hotel brings the dog's kit to the room, so you can travel light.
Up to two dogs of up to medium size can share a room, and the Dog Pack includes a dog bed, a protective mat, two bowls and a treat bag with poo bags. Dogs must never be left alone in the room. Which rooms take dogs is a gap; Hotel du Vin Exeter's pages don't say, so raise it with the team when booking.
Bistro du Vin is the heart of the hotel, serving French inspired menus at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with afternoon tea, Sunday lunch and deep wine cellars alongside. The Magdalen Lounge, with its painted mural, opens onto a terrace and garden. The Exeter hotel's pages don't mention dogs in the bistro, the bar or the lounge, so check which areas dogs can use with the hotel before you book a table.
The rooms are individually designed with Egyptian cotton sheets and either power showers or roll-top baths, and Beekeeper's Cottage, a suite in the grounds, has a private patio over the kitchen garden. The spa in the walled garden offers TEMPLESPA treatments, with an outdoor heated pool and an indoor hydra jet pool. Haldon Forest Discovery Trail, a Wildpack walk, is 4.1 miles away, and Dawlish Warren, 8.9 miles off, is the closest dog friendly beach Wildpack has mapped to Exeter.
