Cheltenham
with your dog.

Cheltenham lends itself to a dog break built around Regency streets and manageable park visits. Start with Montpellier Gardens, then give Pittville its own outing rather than turning arrival day into a long town circuit. The George and Queens both accept up to two dogs, but their bedroom and meal arrangements differ. Choose the room first and leave the wider Cotswolds for a separate trip.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK

Dog-friendly places to stay in Cheltenham

A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly before you pay.

The George offers designated dog rooms at £25 per night for one or two dogs and prohibits leaving them alone. Queens lists £30 per night and dog access to its bar, lounge and garden, but not the restaurant. Ask Queens to confirm both the precise room category and the total pet charge before choosing a rate.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Things to do around Cheltenham

01

Montpellier Gardens

Use the path around the northern open space for a compact first outing, with the small arboretum as a possible extension. This keeps arrival day close to the town streets.

Keep your dog controlled and follow local lead signs. Play areas, tennis courts, wheeled-sport areas and water features are excluded.

02

Pittville Park

Choose one side of Evesham Road for an unhurried visit. The western park has the larger lake and woodland pockets; there is no need to cover both halves.

Keep dogs out of play and sports enclosures and the water. Follow posted dog zones and take care at the road crossing.

AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS

A short break that leaves room to pause

Day one · a town-sized escape

Check into the agreed dog room, then take a short walk through the Promenade area towards Montpellier Gardens. Choose a quiet path circuit and return for the meal arrangement you have confirmed. At the George, your dog needs to accompany you rather than wait in the room.

Day two · give Pittville time

Make Pittville the main outing and choose a section to suit your dog. Pause before adding the other side of Evesham Road; a shorter park visit can leave more energy for the journey home. Avoid combining it with an ambitious Cotswold driving route.

A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Good to know before you go

Book the room category

At Queens, a view room or suite may fall outside the dog allocation even when other rooms accept pets.

Separate bedroom and dining permission

Confirm breakfast explicitly. A dog-friendly room does not automatically include restaurant access.

Your Cheltenham questions

Can two dogs stay at the George?

Yes, in an arranged dog room, with £25 per night covering one or two dogs.

Can dogs join dinner in Queens’ restaurant?

No. Dogs are welcomed in the bar, lounge and garden; agree a suitable meal arrangement directly.
