Bit better than Travelodge who charge £20 per night for a dog - and not even a breakfast thrown in for them!

I would be getting my hands on as much gratuitious soaps, shampoo and towels that would fit in the back of the I10. I'd make sure i got my £20's worth. £20 for a dog? What does it get? A double bed? |

My sister-in-law is getting married in April and was so pleased to find a dog-friendly hotel for the reception BUT they charge a whopping £50 surcharge for dogs!
Luckily it's close enough to home for us not to stay over - after all, you can get a lot of piggy lugs for £50 :-)

For those sort of prices I'd get Cassie to scent mark (being polite) all over their carpets!!!!!!
Yvonne ;D

Many years ago we stayed at a very nice hotel with our old lurcher - they put a surcharge on the room to 'allow for the extra cleaning'.
We were a bit indignant as she was a very clean dog (housetrained, didn't shed hair etc) but we did feel we'd got value for money after she'd thrown up on the bedroom floor :-)
Note: we did clean it up - we're not complete heathens!

The Penhaven Hotel in Parkham, North Devon nr Bideford charges only £5 per night for a dog I think. ( www.penhaven.co.uk). Yeoldon House Hotel, Northam nr Bideford also only charges £5 per night for a dog. ( www.yeoldonhousehotel.co.uk). |

£20 is alot for a dog and in Travel lodge they no longer have shampoo etc. Its very basic. We will be taking Betty with us on holiday, but we have our own caravan so it won't be an issue  Nicky |

I think Travelodges have really downgraded lately. No toiletries and don't even get a decent bedspread just a white sheety/blanket type thing. No wonder they are having to do cheap deals. Still at least with a £9 or £19 room, it goes a bit of a way to pay for the dog charge.
And the ones with "The Bar" still won't allow you to sit and eat there - you have to sit in the foyer. If some places can do it, why not others.
Lovely B & B on the Isle of Wight called The Outlook at Gurnard. Not only can you have dog in the room, they don't charge extra for them and you can sit in the restaurant with the dog and have food there. The view is to die for too.

I'd love to take Cass on Holiday but her scent marking makes it a no no! Yesterday I took her to the vets for a microchip and she behaved impeccably. I was feeling quite chuffed as we walked out, but no she didn't let me down she pee'd on their doorstep  Yvonne |

I was feeling quite chuffed as we walked out, but no she didn't let me down she pee'd on their doorstep Yvonne Hotels are just as bad. You try finding a dog friendly hotel. My boy Sonny and i decided we'd have a lads weekend away. I bought this huge suitcase on wheels and hid him in it. However, he popped his head out at the wrong moment as i was passing reception. The sniffy receptionist reaking of Kouros said to me 'Is that a dog?!' I said to him' Of course it is, what do you think it is? A singing kipper!' He said 'Your dog pee'd in my lift.' I said 'No it wasn't. It was me!' |

We used to take him to the vets in Woodbridge, and you know how posh Woodbridge is. Guaranteed, everytime. Right up the edge of the reception in full view of everyone. Would cock his leg and pee for England. The shame. I used to turn round and say 'He's not mine!' but my face was that shade of scarlet they knew i was being economical with the truth. He was evil, that dog ;D |

Don't bother spending your money on posh hotel rooms. They're a waste of money. You get in and the manager says 'This is the bathroom, this is the bath' You think 'Jesus, we keep coal in ours.'
'This is the Bidet.'
Now if you ask me, Bidets are a waste of money. 500 quid for a bit of porcelain? To wash your backside when you could go down to boots and buy a flannel for £1.75?!'
It's just to show off to your neighbours. Imagine saying to your neighbours 'This is the Bidet.'
And they ask 'What do you do with your Bidet??'
'Oh.... mmm..mmm.mmmm'
You ever used a Bidet? They're handy for washing your tights in when you are on holiday. Just the feet and crutch, bugger the rest.
I went to Tossa de Mar a few years ago and i thought to myself
'I'll have a go on this Bidet.'
So i parked my a*** gingerly - a bit worried about all this modern technology.... i pulled the lever..... 90MPH, ice cold water straight up my hoop! I was like the Log Flume at Alton Towers! I was off that pan quicker than a scolded cat! I was embedded in the polystyrene tiles overhead.
