1 / 8Royal Berkshire
Ascot, Windsor and Maidenhead
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country house hotel in 15 acres just outside Ascot, with ground floor dog rooms, easy outside access and dogs welcome in The Polo Bar.
Royal Berkshire is a red brick mansion just outside Ascot, 15 acres of landscaped grounds with a rose garden, a woodland path and an ornamental pond, and 66 rooms telling a 300 year story. The dog friendly hotel thinking is all on the ground floor, where the rooms that take dogs sit, with easy access straight outside.
Two dogs may come, and your room has a dog bed, a bowl and some doggie treats in it, doubled if there are two of them. Let the hotel know before you travel. The hotel doesn't say anything about a dog alone in the room, so ask on that call.
Dogs are welcome in The Polo Bar, where the homemade afternoon tea is served, though if yours is making a lot of noise or upsetting other guests the hotel will ask you to move to another part of the building. Where else you can eat with a dog it doesn't say, so check that when you call. Fork is the relaxed restaurant, with contemporary cooking and views across the landscaped gardens.
Afternoon tea comes as tiers of pastries, sandwiches and scones with clotted cream, and the terrace takes lunch outside. In the 15 acres there are tennis courts, frisbee golf, giant chess and a secret walled garden. Virginia Water Lake Circuit, a Wildpack walk, is 1.9 miles off, and plenty of the grounds are the dog's for the rest of the time.
