Dog-Friendly Hotel in Guildford, Surrey

Welcome to the only 4 Star Dog-Friendly Hotel in Guildford, Surrey

We love welcoming well-behaved dogs to Mandolay, and we are delighted to introduce a number of dog-friendly facilities for our four-legged guests, and their families.

Pet-friendly facilities are becoming increasingly popular, we are fortunate enough to have the space to accommodate their every need, and a quick stroll down Guildford High Street will show that it’s not just Mandolay that considers itself dog-friendly, we are a town of pet lovers and doggie worshippers.

Every comfort has been arranged to make your family feel right at home and remember, we love nothing more than sharing images of happy doggies on our social media accounts, so please let us have names and pictures…we might even make them into TikTok superstars!

Here at Mandolay, we know the difference between ‘pet tolerant’ and pet-friendly, we appreciate how important your pet pals are to you and we are determined to make sure that they also enjoy the greatest possible doggie vacation.

 

Of course, for a number of reasons it’s important for us to stress a couple of very quick, but important points.

For the comfort of all of our guests, dogs are only allowed in certain bedrooms and parts of the hotel, and all ‘Doggie Bookings’ must be confirmed directly with the hotel to ensure the availability of appropriate room types.
