1 / 8The Clarence Boutique Rooms
Portsmouth
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
Boutique annex rooms on Clarence Road in Southsea, Portsmouth, a short stroll from the beach, where dogs come too and breakfast is a two minute walk away.
The Clarence is the annex of Florence Gardens, two minutes' walk away, with boutique bedrooms in an Edwardian building on Clarence Road, 100 yards from the seafront in Southsea, Portsmouth. This dog friendly hotel asks two things of you: email ahead to say your dog is coming, and pack a blanket or bed for them to sleep on.
The rooms run from Executive King rooms with a desk and dressing table to top floor Superior King rooms with a mezzanine bathroom, and there is an Executive King room with a bath in the room itself. Rooms that have hosted a dog are cleaned rigorously afterwards so allergy sufferers are not affected. The hotel doesn't mention how many dogs can come along or which rooms are set aside for them, so check before booking.
Breakfast is a two minute walk away. Your dog can come along too, with a dog friendly part of the dining space there for the pair of you, inside or out. The breakfast menu changes but always carries vegan options, down to vegan muffins and sandwiches, with fresh fruit, cereals and bloomer toast, and oat milk is standard. At The Garden Southsea, set in a courtyard among the trees, the open grill and wood-fired pizza oven turn out fish, salads, pasta and pizza, with homemade desserts.
The DDay Museum is a five minute walk from the door, and the Historic Dockyard, home to HMS Victory and HMS Warrior, is ten minutes by car. With the dog, the seafront is the obvious first outing, and Southsea Beach, Wildpack's pick for the closest dog friendly beach, is 0.5 miles away.
