How we check each stay

Every stay on this site passes the same checks before it is listed.

1. The venue's own website must say dogs are welcome

We only list a stay when its own website says dogs can stay. A listing on a booking site, a tourism board page or a news article is not enough on its own. If a website only says "pet friendly" with nothing about dogs, we leave it out.

2. We record what the policy says, and nothing more

For each stay we note the dog fee and whether it is per night or per stay, the most dogs allowed, any size, weight or breed limit, which rooms take dogs, where dogs can go inside, whether a dog may be left alone, what is provided, and whether you must tell the venue in advance. Each fact is backed by the sentence on the venue's page that states it.

3. A script checks every quote against the live page

We fetch the venue's policy page and check that each quoted sentence is really on it. A fact whose sentence we cannot find is shown as "not stated". When a website blocks our checking script or builds its text with JavaScript, we read the page again with a second fetch tool, confirm the sentences are there, and record the date.

4. "Not stated" is a real answer

Where a website is silent, we say so. We never fill a gap with a guess or with what a booking site says.

5. Official data where it exists

Star ratings, register numbers, Eircodes and most locations come from the Fáilte Ireland accommodation register, published under CC BY 4.0. Other locations come from OpenStreetMap. Travel rules come from the operators' and public bodies' own pages.

6. Dates and re-checks

Every stay page shows the date we read its policy. The current listings were read between 11 November 2026 and 11 November 2026. Policies change, so always confirm with the venue when you book.

Photos

Photos come from each venue's own website and are credited to the venue on the stay page and on our photo credits page. A venue that would like a photo changed or removed can contact us.

Corrections

If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check the venue's website and update the page.
