1 / 8Sarah Hotel
Harwich, Essex
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A hotel 0.3 miles from Harwich International Port, where two dogs share a room and a self-contained cottage sleeps four for longer stays.
Sarah Hotel sits in Harwich, a few minutes by car from Harwich International Port and walkable with light luggage, which makes it a first stop in the country for anyone off the Stena Line ferry from the Hook of Holland. Dogs are part of the offer here, two dogs to a room at this dog friendly hotel.
Two dogs are welcome to a room, and they are never left unattended in it at any time, so the day runs on the dog's company rather than around it. Family rooms sleep up to four, and there is an entire self-contained cottage with a full kitchen, also sleeping four. Which rooms take dogs the hotel doesn't say, so ask that when you book.
Rooms come with a coffee and tea station, a private en-suite and a Netflix-ready Smart TV. Where a dog can eat with you the hotel doesn't say, which is worth asking if it shapes your evening.
Tell the hotel in advance if you are arriving on a late crossing and it will arrange things around you, which is the sort of detail that counts when a dog is travelling too. Alton Water Reservoir Circuit, one of Wildpack's walks, is 4.0 miles out, and Felixstowe North Beach is the beach Wildpack has nearest for dogs.
