How this guide works
A hotel that calls itself pet friendly can mean a free bed and a bowl by the fire, or one ground-floor room, a €50 nightly fee and a 10kg limit. The only way to know is to read the policy, so that is what we do.
For every stay we find the page on the venue's own website that sets out its dog policy, record what it says, and link to it with the date we read it. When a website does not say something, we write "not stated" instead of guessing. There are no star ratings from us, no paid placements and no reviews.
