12 Dog Friendly Hotels in Cheltenham

The historic Regency and spa town of Cheltenham draws in many visitors to its popular festivals, horse racing and architecture, but it’s also a captivating town to meander around and explore in its own right and rose to prominence in the 18th century. Dog friendly Cheltenham also offers many restaurants, bars and dog welcoming cafes as well as beautiful centrally located parks for you to explore and relax.

The DoubleTree Hilton Cheltenham is dog friendly.
The DoubleTree Hilton Cheltenham

If you are visiting this beautiful town with your pooch, there are several dog friendly hotels in Cheltenham and just outside the town centre to choose from. Most of these dog friendly places add an extra cleaning fee charge on top of the normal rate and do check their policy of where dogs can go on the premises. Usually bar areas are ok, but main restaurants are a no-no.

DoubleTree Hilton Cheltenham

We visited the DoubleTree Hilton Cheltenham over a very wet and gloomy couple of days, but there are some lovely grounds with a stream running through the site with plenty of space to walk your dog. Reception has a water bowl at the front door and there are dog poo bins in the grounds.

We opted to leave our dog in the room, but if your dog needs to be with you, staff will give you a tray so you can take your breakfast to the bar area. Look out for the DoubleTree’s future dog friendly events too: Pooch, Pyjama and Prosecco Party on the 3rd May and the Pooch, Pizza and Prosecco Party on the 30th August! Read my full review of the DoubleTree Cheltenham here.

Malmaison

The majestic white building of Malmaison Cheltenham looks right at home just around the corner from the serene Montpellier Gardens, with the restaurant boasting a glass conservatory ‘Garden Room’ and beautiful terrace. Although dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, they can come to the bar. It won’t just be you with a comfy bed and room -even your pooch will be given a bed plus a a shiny bowl and a Denta stick. It won’t take long for your pet to realise where the biscuit jar is at the bar!
