Welcome to Stay and Play

We know how important your four-legged companions are, and at Wivenhoe House Hotel we’re delighted to welcome well-behaved dogs to stay with us. After all, a relaxing getaway isn’t quite the same without your canine companion.

Our Superior Balcony Rooms provide plenty of space as well as a private outdoor area, allowing you and your dog to enjoy a comfortable stay together.

To help your dog feel right at home, we can provide dog beds and bowls, along with a doggy welcome pack including treats and waste bags.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of the award-winning Wivenhoe Park, the hotel offers plenty of green space to explore, with scenic walks right on our doorstep. A perfect countryside escape for both you and your dog.

Dog Stay information

What do I need to bring for my dog? caret-down

While we can provide beds and bowls, we recommend bringing anything that helps your dog feel comfortable, such as their own bed, favourite toys and food.

What do we provide? caret-down

We can provide dog beds, bowls, waste bags and, most importantly, treats.

Where are dogs allowed in the hotel? caret-down

Dogs are welcome in most areas of the hotel, with the exception of the Park Brasserie, due to our open kitchen (assistance dogs are permitted). However, we are happy to serve dinner outside under our heated pergolas, in the Stirling Lounge, or in the comfort of your room. For the safety and comfort of all guests, dogs must be kept on a lead and under control in all public areas.

Are there outdoor areas for dogs? caret-down

Yes. The hotel sits within 112 acres of award-winning grounds, offering plenty of space for your dog to stretch their legs. We kindly ask that any dog waste is cleaned up promptly.

Are dogs allowed to be left unattended in the room? caret-down

We recommend that dogs are not left unattended for significant periods. If you do need to leave your dog briefly, please ensure they are secure and unlikely to disturb other guests. If your dog may become distressed or destructive, we suggest bringing a crate. Guests are responsible for any damage caused during their stay.
