1 / 8Somerset House Boutique Hotel and Restaurant
Portsmouth
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
An Edwardian boutique hotel 100 yards from the seafront in Southsea, Portsmouth, where dogs come down to breakfast with you and the beach is a short stroll.
One hundred yards from the seafront, in an Edwardian building in Southsea, Portsmouth, Somerset House Boutique Hotel and Restaurant puts the beach and the seaside landmarks a short stroll away. This dog friendly hotel asks two things of you: a little notice, and a bed for your dog.
Tell the team ahead of arrival that your dog is coming, and pack a blanket or bed for them to sleep on. Rooms that have taken dogs are rigorously cleaned afterwards. The rooms come with Anyah vegan and eco-friendly toiletries and Aqua Libra filtered water, and if you book directly the team can take a request for a specific room. How many dogs may come, and the rooms they can use, the hotel doesn't state, so ask before you book.
Breakfast is the meal to share: a dog friendly part of the dining area is kept for you and your dog, indoors or out. The breakfast menu always carries vegan choices, from a Vegan Full English to smashed avocado and facon, and oat milk comes as standard. The Garden Southsea, set in a courtyard among the trees just behind the hotel, spreads across the courtyard, conservatory, cocktail bar and garden space, cooking steaks, fish, salads, pasta and pizza on an open grill and in a wood-fired oven, with homemade desserts to finish.
For a special occasion, the Superior Superking Suite has a sofa, a dressing table, duo wash basins and a large bath with an overhead shower. Out of the door, the dog has the seafront close at hand, and Southsea Beach, Wildpack's nearest dog friendly sand to the hotel, is 0.4 miles off.
