TripAdvisor's Best Dog Friendly Hotel/B&B in the UK - The Ashleigh, Bournemouth
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The Ashleigh holds the TripAdvisor award for Best Dog Friendly Hotel/B&B in the UK, a testament to its pet-first approach. Guests receive complimentary dog welcome packs containing personalised water bowls, treats, and toys that they keep. A dedicated pet-friendly dining area allows dogs to join owners at breakfast, and a doggy breakfast menu offers special meals for four-legged guests.
Rooms & Garden
The Garden Room provides direct access to a secure garden open 24/7, letting dogs come and go freely without leaving the property. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, a fridge for storing pet food or drinks, and bathrobes and slippers for humans. Dog blankets and towels are supplied in the room, and raincoats can be borrowed for wet-weather walks.
Dining
Breakfast is cooked to order using locally sourced ingredients, with a choice of full English, vegetarian, and vegan options. Homemade bread and apple juice from the owner's family farm are served each morning. A separate doggy breakfast menu offers meals such as scrambled eggs or sausages for canine guests.
Location
The Ashleigh is 1.6 km from Bournemouth Beach and within walking distance of Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum and Boscombe Pier. Bournemouth train station is a few minutes' walk, providing connections to Dorset and the New Forest. The quiet residential street allows peaceful rest while shops and restaurants are a short stroll away.
Additional Services
The hotel provides free off-street parking for up to eight cars and an electric vehicle charging station. A flexible check-in process allows early or late arrivals by prior arrangement, and CCTV covers the building and parking area. Long-standing family management ensures personalised recommendations for local dog-friendly cafés, walks, and attractions.
