Malmaison Oxford is a conversion of the former prison at Oxford Castle, and its 95 rooms and suites have come a long way from their prison cell past. This is a dog friendly hotel a short walk from the Oxford University colleges, Christ Church Cathedral and the Ashmolean Museum, and the welcome for a dog is spelled out in detail.

Two dogs are allowed in a room, of medium size or under, and the hotel lays out a bed sized for the dog, a floor mat, bowls and a bag of treats with poo bags included. A dog should never be left alone in the bedroom, and should be restrained if housekeeping or room service needs to come in, with a lead or a carrier required anywhere outside the bedroom. Rooms run from cell rooms in the A-Wing to junior suites, each styled differently, with features such as rolltop baths, twin monsoon showers or exposed brickwork.

The hotel is not able to accommodate dogs in its dining room, but the team will do their best to arrange somewhere else in the hotel for the two of you to eat together. Chez Mal Brasserie and Bar is modern British with a subtle French twist, dishes fired on Konro and Josper grills, and the bar alongside it mixes craftily blended cocktails.

The rooms come with baths and power showers, mood lighting, exclusive toiletries and room service at any hour, and children aged three to fourteen can have an extra bed in the Superior rooms. Thames Path: Godstow to Swinford, on Wildpack's map, is 2.5 miles away, with Shotover Country Park 3.4 miles out; both are good ground for a dog.
