Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Surrey · England · Town
Guildford offers a useful mix of town, river and parkland, with a choice of a central-area hotel or a village pub stay at Worplesdon. The River Wey makes a flexible first outing; Hatchlands is a separate estate visit with clear dog boundaries. Pick the base that suits your transport plans rather than treating both hotels as interchangeable town-centre options.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a manageable towpath section or a visit to Dapdune during its opening times. The river route is shared and close to water, so keep the plan comfortably within your dog’s abilities.
Dogs are welcome on leads at Dapdune, including buildings and tea-room, but not the play area or boat trips. Keep dogs close on the towpath.
Official visitor information ↗Make a separate trip to the permitted park walks, choosing a route from the estate information rather than expecting access to the house. Check opening times and admission before travelling.
Use designated dog areas and keep dogs on leads around livestock and in cafés. Pet dogs cannot enter the house, formal gardens or children’s natural adventure area.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
After check-in, choose a short River Wey outing with a clear turnaround. If visiting Dapdune, check opening times and keep the dog on lead. Arrange your evening around a dog-friendly table; Mandolay does not allow the dog to wait alone in the room.
Check the estate’s current access and livestock notices, then choose one of the permitted walks. Keep the dog close and avoid the formal gardens and house. Leave enough time for the return journey to your hotel or home.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Plan the journey to the river or station before choosing the village stay.
Mandolay’s size limit, no-alone rule and furniture restrictions should fit your dog’s routine before you commit.
Its published policy welcomes small or medium dogs up to 25kg; ask directly if your dog falls outside that range.
No. Pet dogs are excluded from the boat trips, although permitted in the wharf’s other specified areas.
