No Weight LimitFairmont St Andrews Dog Friendly Review
Fairmont St Andrews holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and for an owner who loves to walk it is a fine place to stay. The hotel sits in extensive grounds where your dog may roam, away from the golf courses, and the Fife Coastal Path can be reached straight from the hotel. Dog friendly rooms are on the first floor, every room type is available with a dog, and there is no weight or size limit. Up to two dogs may share a room, and the pet policy is shared before you book.
Dogs are welcome in Kittocks Den Bar and out on the terrace, and at breakfast they may sit with you in a designated area of the Atrium. The room comes with a dog bed and real food and water bowls, poop bags are provided, and the team will point you to walking routes and to local vets should you need one. Your dog may be left alone in the room if it is quiet, with the notice provided hung on the door.
The fee is £50 per night, per pet, and a deposit of £50 per night is taken to cover any additional charges, which adds up over a longer stay. There is no dog walking or sitting service, no dog wash and no dog food for sale, treats are not given, and grooming is something you book yourself with a local groomer. Cats are not accepted. This suits an owner who wants a comfortable room, a bar to share and miles of coastal walking from the door.
