It can be hard to find a hotel where your pet is as welcome as you are. But here I have picked out the top 10 pet friendly hotels in the UK where your dog isn't just allowed, but positively pampered. Nothing is too much for four-legged guests at these luxury hotels. All are happy to have dogs to stay, while many offer special pet packages including food prepared by the hotel chef, treats, toys, dog beds and bowls, plus advice on the best local dog walks, dog sitting and grooming. Some of the hotels put your dog up for free, while others charge anything from £8-30 per dog, per night.
The Milestone Hotel

Pets receive five star treatment at this luxury hotel. Situated in London's smart Kensington four-legged guests are pampered with their own bed, toys and treats. They can order from special menus including sausages in gravy for dogs or fresh salmon for cats. The hotel can also arrange dog grooming, sitting and walking. Pets stay for free in any room, but you need to give a credit card authorisation to cover any damage.

Broadoaks Country House

Run by dog owners the Broadoaks Country House Hotel knows how to make your pet feel right at home. The Doggie Dinner Bed and Breakfast rate of £25 includes a choice of dishes including chicken breast, roast beef or Pedigree Chum, plus home made gravy, along with a side of bones or chews. Water bowls, spare leads and scoop sacks are all available too. Dogs are welcome in all the ground floor rooms, the top suite and garden lodges.

Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club

Guests travelling with dogs can book into one of the Fairway Junior or Studio suites at the Ashdown Park Hotel in East Sussex. You can then roam the 186 acres of parkland together. Book a £30 a night Dog Package and your pet will be treated to a bed, blanket, treat and a dinner of either organic chicken breast or fresh grilled fish prepared by the hotel's chef. If you opt out of the package dogs stay for free.

Linthwaite House

The Lake District is famous for its fantastic walking country, so why not bring your dog along too? Book into Linthwaite House Hotel and your dog will enjoy the break as much as you do. The hotel has allocated two ground floor rooms for dog owners and can lay on food and water bowls, a blanket, lead and scoop bags. It also provides advice on the best local dog walks and dog-friendly pubs. Dogs are charged at £9 a night.

They are also provided with soft bedding, a chew stick, scoop bags and a food bowl. Dogs are charged at £15 per night.
