Does anyone have any personal experience of a nice country hotel that allows you to take the dog along?? Preferably somewhere with some nice long country walks for during the day but also somewhere secure to put him if we go for dinner or drinks in evening? Only looking for a nice weekend away and would prefer to take him with us if at all possible.
Renvyle House in Connemara seems to be especially welcoming to dogs, but I don't know about a secure place to put the dog while you eat. Lovely relaxing place to stay.
Was just about to suggest Renvylle House. Now we dont have dogs but we went there and its fab, and animals are welcome check them out on trip advisor. Just want to state I am not connected with them in any shape or form.
We stayed at the Renvyle one weekend with our dog, and there were more dogs than children there! There was no problem as long as the dog was well behaved and not wet from swimming in the sea. The food here is just brilliant too.
Another very dog friendly hotel was the Sand House Hotel in Rossnowlagh, Co Donegal. Great restaurant and a stunning beach for walking/running and surfing.
