The George Hotel

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A 46-bedroom design-led hotel in the heart of Cheltenham, where dogs are met with a hamper of treats, a bed or blanket and a bowl of their own.

The George does things a little differently: warm and welcoming without being overwhelming, big on design and big on living like a local. Its 46 bedrooms sit in the heart of Cheltenham on St Georges Road, and this dog friendly hotel works on the belief that a dog is family, and no holiday is complete without the whole family.

Two dogs at most can stay in one of the dog-friendly bedrooms, and they get a VIP welcome: a doggy hamper full of tasty treats, a dog bed or blanket and a bowl. You're welcome to bring your dog's own bed, and the hotel asks you to bring an extra blanket if your dog is particularly large or enjoys getting very muddy. The house rules ask that dogs keep off the beds and soft furnishings and are never left unsupervised, so plan your days with your dog by your side, and keep other guests in mind.

Mornings belong to The Diner, where breakfast runs from a hearty full English to a quick coffee and croissant, and the weekend brunch is built on locally sourced ingredients, with Eggs Royale and silky Hollandaise a firm favourite. The Pantry is open 24 hours a day for snacks, light bites and everyday essentials. The dog house rules do not mention The Diner, so ask the hotel if your dog can come down to breakfast with you.

The bedrooms come with ultra-comfy Hypnos mattresses and epic showers. The hotel's own suggestions for nearby dog walks include Sandford Park, and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a short drive away, with miles and miles of muddy paw walking. Leckhampton Hill and Charlton Kings Common, on Wildpack's map, is 2.6 miles away.
