Royal Bath Hotel

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel with a fun history. It has seen better days of course, some areas a bit cold or looking old. But it is a very impressive building, and I was delighted with my stay. The garden and the terrace at the back are great and when you go up to the terrace it's a nice view to the sea. It's a good location, and right beside the Russel Coates Museum which is definitely worth a look."

What pet-friendly activities should we do in Bournemouth?

For a slightly more adventurous outing, head to Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve, a short drive or bus ride from the town centre. This stunning natural headland offers a variety of walking trails with breathtaking views across Christchurch Bay and the Isle of Wight. Dogs are welcome on leads, and there's a quieter beach area at Mudeford Sandbank accessible via a short ferry ride (which also welcomes dogs).
Can I cancel my pet-friendly hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Do any Bournemouth hotels have restrictions on pet sizes or breeds?
First ensure you have picked a pet-friendly hotel by using the "Pet friendly" filter under the "Amenities" section in your search. If a hotel in Bournemouth has restrictions on pet sizes or breeds, you will find this information clearly in their property listing on Expedia.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Bournemouth?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones. When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
