No Weight LimitHastings House Country House Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Hastings House Country House Hotel holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for dog owners there is plenty to recommend it. The hotel sits on Salt Spring Island in a lovely country setting, with 22 acres of grounds where on-leash dogs are welcome to explore the property fully, and dogs are also more than welcome on the outdoor patio and terrace. Beyond the grounds, there are multiple well-marked dog friendly options for walks nearby. There is no size or weight limit on dogs who stay, which opens the hotel to owners of large breeds who often find themselves turned away elsewhere.
Rooms come equipped with stainless steel dog dishes, a pet bed, Milk-Bone treats and compostable poop bags with an accompanying receptacle, so you need not pack the basics. You are welcome to leave your dog in the room while you dine, provided he does not bark and is well-behaved and not disruptive to surrounding guests. There is a dog fee of $25.00 per dog per night, and while no damage deposit is taken, 50% of the stay is required upon making the reservation. Cats are welcome too, should your travelling party include one alongside your dog.
Not every room is dog friendly; only the Churchill, Meadow and Woodland rooms accept dogs, so you will need to book one of these specifically. The hotel does not allow dogs in the bar, restaurant or lounge, and there is no dog wash area, dog-walking service or grooming arranged on site. This makes Hastings House a good fit for an owner with a calm, well-behaved dog who is happy exploring grounds and country walks and settling quietly in the room at mealtimes, rather than one seeking indoor dining or spa-style extras for their dog.
