1 / 8Salthouse Harbour Hotel and Spa
Ipswich, Suffolk
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A boutique hotel and spa on the Ipswich waterfront, where dogs stay in rooms, some over the harbour, and can join you for a meal at the bar.
Neptune Quay, on the Ipswich waterfront and steps from the town centre, is home to Salthouse Harbour Hotel and Spa: 62 bespoke bedrooms above a striking bar and a British brasserie. Christchurch Park, minutes from this dog friendly hotel, makes an easy first stroll of the day, and the hotel says plainly that your four-legged friend is part of the family.
A number of rooms are set up for dogs, made for a pup to stretch out and watch the world go by, and some of those look over the harbour. Let the hotel know about the dog as you book the room, so it can put you all somewhere comfortable. On a limit per room, or on leaving a dog by itself there, the hotel's pages don't state a rule, so ask first.
Dogs aren't allowed in the brasserie, but the bar welcomes them, and you can eat there from the À la Carte menu or the bar snacks. Room service runs around the clock too, so you and your dog can share a quiet meal in your room. The bar itself is a striking, vibrant space with attentive table service, expertly crafted cocktails and fantastic wines.
Spa at Salthouse is perched above the waterfront with views over the marina, with a Himalayan salt sauna, an aromatherapy steam room, ice, hydrotherapy and a warm wallow pool, plus Ishga treatments. Penthouse suites have floor-to-ceiling views of the harbour. Out with your dog, Wildpack's Orwell Country Park to Nacton Shore is 3.8 miles away, and the nearest beach Wildpack rates as dog friendly from Ipswich is Felixstowe North Beach, 9.2 miles off.
