Pets

The Royal Harbour Hotel is dog friendly, and we love having your four-legged friends to stay. We welcome well-behaved dogs and ask you to inform the hotel directly at booking to ensure we can accommodate them.

 

We have a few house rules to help you with your stay:

 

a) Dogs are charged at £10 per dog per night. If you arrive with a dog that you have not made us aware of prior to check in you will be charged a £80 cleaning charge on top of the £10 per night dog charge. Management have the right to refuse entry to dogs that we are not aware of prior to arrival.
b) We permit a maximum of 2 dogs per hotel room, at £10 per dog per night. Please provide their own bedding. 
c) Your dog must be kept on a lead in our public areas
d) Please don't allow your dogs on the furniture, including beds.
e) Guests are liable for any damage caused by their dog.
f) Any complaints from other guests which arise because of noisy dogs should be managed by the dog owner.
g) We reserve the right to ask any dog to be removed from the hotel at any time.
h) We do not charge for guide and assistance dogs.
i) Do not leave your dog alone in your room at any time. The penalty for this is £50.

j) We also understand that not all service or assistance dogs will carry charity registration papers by Assistance Dogs Uk (ADUK) as they may be self-trained.
In order to protect our guests and staff from dogs that are not trained to the required standards under the law, we will expect that the assistance dog will, as stated by The Equality and Human Rights Commission:
• Be highly trained.
• Will not wander freely around the premises.
• Will sit or lie quietly on the floor next to its owner.
• Are trained to go to the toilet on command and so are unlikely to foul in a public place.
• Be recognisable by the harness or identifying dog jacket, although not in all cases.
