Dog-Friendly Hotel Stay

Bring Your Dog to Canterbury

Bringing your dog on a city break is easier when the room arrangements are clear before you travel. ABode Canterbury has six designated rooms for stays with dogs, placing you on the High Street close to Canterbury’s historic centre, riverside walks and green spaces. You can explore the city on foot, return to a comfortable room and avoid staying outside the centre simply because a dog is coming too. The central position also means you can return to the room between walks instead of carrying water, coats and dog supplies through the whole day.

Make time for more than the nave

Dog-friendly stays are available in a limited number of rooms, so reserve by telephone rather than choosing any room online. The team will match the booking to an appropriate category and explain the arrangements before payment. Early booking is sensible for weekends, holidays and dates when the city is especially busy. The room categories are not identical, so say whether floor, bed size or proximity to the lift matters when you call.

The High Street between history and modern Canterbury

A nightly dog charge includes a dog bed, water bowl and treat in the room. Those small practical details reduce what you need to pack and make arrival easier. Bring your usual food, lead, waste bags and anything that helps your dog settle in an unfamiliar room. A familiar blanket or toy can still help, particularly if your dog is unused to the sounds of a city-centre hotel.

A contemporary room in a historic building

Call the hotel when you have chosen your dates. Share the number and size of dogs, the people travelling and any room preferences. This avoids booking a category that cannot accommodate a dog and gives the team time to prepare the room before you arrive. If you are also reserving parking or dining, deal with those details during the same call and keep the arrival as straightforward as possible.

Breakfast before the Cathedral, dinner after the city

A maximum of two dogs can stay in each designated room. If you are travelling with three or more, or with a particularly large breed, speak to the hotel before making plans. Guide dogs and accredited assistance dogs are welcome throughout the hotel. The limit keeps the room comfortable and allows the hotel to prepare the right equipment without guessing what will arrive.
