Hand Picked Hotels welcome paws through the doors

Hand Picked Hotels provide the ideal option for staycations a little closer to home, and with its new announcement that pets are welcome at its hotels from August, it means your UK holiday can be enjoyed with all of the family - four-legged friends in tow!

With historic country house hotels in the UK surrounded by acres of grounds and gardens and charming Channel Island resorts located on or near sandy beaches and cliff top paths, Hand Picked Hotels certainly has something for everyone.

Canine companions can now join their owners in spacious bedrooms designated dog friendly, providing direct access to outside terraces, patios and expansive lawns for walks galore through parkland and woodland. Recommendations for short strolls and lengthy hikes are provided, as well as wellies for guest use by the front door in wet weather.

In similar style to their owners, pampered pooches can also enjoy a real sense of arrival, being treated to comfortable bedding, snacks and a hand written welcome note from the manager to welcome them to their new surroundings.

Guests are invited to sit back and relax in the hotel's pet-friendly bars, terraces and lounges and enjoy food and drinks in comfort knowing their beloved furry best friend is by their side, as at home.

Selected rooms are available at 19 Hand Picked Hotels in the UK and the Channel Islands at a supplement of £35 per dog per night. Guests are invited to call the Central Reservations Office to make their booking, and can find more information online: handpickedhotels.co.uk
