🔴 Four-poster #dog beds, tail-lored tasting menus, puppacinos for breakfast – hotels are pandering to the paw patrol more than ever. But while #Britain has long been a nation of dog lovers, aren’t we going a little too far? After all, not everyone is a fan of the four-legged #hotel guest. Telegraph reader Penny Entecott from Middleton-on-Sea in West Sussex had her mini-break with her husband ruined by damp dogs, pampered pooches and marauding mutts. ‘SIR – My husband and I recently checked into a hotel for a three-night break. Sitting in the bar waiting for our room to be ready, we gasped in amazement when a couple walked into the foyer with two wet dogs (Letters, January 10) and went straight to their room. We counted another 12 dogs arriving with owners. Dogs were not allowed in the main restaurant but could be in the bar area, where food was served all day. At one point a pampered pooch was in a chair opposite its owner eating off a plate. ‘The best part was when one dog in the restaurant took umbrage against another, and a snarling fight took place, with both owners cooing at their dogs to settle down. Apart from the #hygiene issue, the noise and smell spoilt the atmosphere for us. Checking the dog policy is now high on our list when #booking hotels.’ However, Penny and her husband might be in the minority. With almost a third of #UK households owning a dog (there are more than 12 million mutts) and 56 per cent of dog owners choosing to #travel with their #pets, more and more hotels are jumping on the dog-friendly bandwagon. According to Euromonitor International’s World Travel Market global trends report, hotels becoming pet-friendly could increase revenues by 30 per cent a year, a figure not to be sniffed at. The ‘hound pound’ is estimated to be worth nearly £10 billion a year. Read more here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eNVEjsxi

We certified The Ivey's Hotel and they are great example 'how not to do dog friendly'. They barely scraped a C rank, scoring just 11 points out of 52. This is because they price gouge dog owners with unnecessarily steep fees while providing no services, amenities, or facilities for dogs in return, or even allowing them access to the wider hotel, and to make things worse they have a small weight limit meaning only very small dogs are welcome. We use hotels like this as an example of how not all dog friendly hotels are created equally, and how the words 'dog friendly' mean nothing unless they have been properly certified and ranked by an independent third party. A textbook example of a hotel that can be described as dog tolerant at best. You folks need to do better than this Kyle DeHont. https://lnkd.in/dt5i4qQi

A new survey of 10,000 American dog owners by Forbes Advisor revealed that 82% of dog owners travel with their dogs. When asked what annoys dog owners the most, 37% of respondents said that being unable to bring their dog is their top annoyance. Is your hotel accommodating this growing demographic? Offering dog-friendly rooms is not longer enough. By offering dog-specific amenities, a hotel taps into the pet-owner market, which can be quite lucrative. Pet owners often seek accommodations that not only allow their furry friends but also cater to their needs. By providing a dog menu and other amenities, hotels position themselves as desirable destinations for pet owners, potentially increasing bookings and expanding their customer base.

Offering dog amenities, such as a dog menu, can set a hotel apart from competitors. It serves as a unique selling point that can be marketed to stand out in a crowded hospitality industry. In regions where many hotels operate, those with dog-friendly services and special amenities for dogs can differentiate themselves, drawing guests who might otherwise choose another accommodation. This gives the hotel a competitive advantage, allowing it to justify premium pricing for the added value provided to dog parents, and it can help increase occupancy rates during off-peak seasons when dog parents travel.

Rain or Shine, it's fine to dine. Because rough seas make a stronger sailors. A sailor is not defined as much by how many seas he has sailed than by how many storms he has overcome. by : jjg #cruiseship #restaurantjobs #dining #facebook #instagram

Did you see Dorking step back in history yesterday? Here’s what happened: The White Horse officially opened its doors again yesterday, and made sure everyone was entertained with a horse drawn carriage pulled by two magnificent white (of course!) horses, Dickensian singers and a reading from Charles Dickens himself. And now the doors are open, this is what's on offer: A completely redesigned bar area now cosily and conveniently situated at the entrance to the building. Imagine sitting next to the roaring fires while you linger over your favourite tipple, or a group gathered to enjoy good drinks and good company. And when the sun starts joining us a bit more there are a selection of outdoor spaces too. 56 beautifully renovated and decorated rooms, just waiting to welcome you for an overnight stay (or maybe even a few nights!). There are really fancy rooms for those decadent Dorking stays, rooms perfect for couples, accessible rooms, and those for the solo traveller too. And if you want to bring your dog, there are rooms to suit those who can’t be parted with their pooches as well. An amazing dining experience in the wonderful new dining room. With mains from bar favourites that are anything but basic like burger and chips, to sumptuous slow-cooked duck, and perfectly cooked steaks. With dietary considerations from vegan, vegetarian and allergens, there is something for everyone. Then there’s the Sunday roasts with bottomless trimmings - in case you’ve ever wondered just how many Yorkshire puddings you can eat! With so many reasons to visit, from weekend stays exploring Dorking, to grabbing a drink with friends, visit https://buff.ly/49sUf5B for true local hospitality with heart. #HeartwoodInns #TheWhiteHorseDorking #PubWithRooms #HomeAwayFromHome #WeekendAway #WeekendBreak #SurreyHillsWalks #HelloDorking #Dorking #DorkingSurrey #SurreyHills #SurreyAONB #BoxHill #Ranmore #LeithHill #Denbies #DeepdeneTrail #HistoricSurrey #SurreyWalks #DorkingWalks #SurreyAdventures #HistoricalWalk #DorkingHistory #SurreyHistory #HistoricEngland #ThingsToDoInSurrey
