Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Leicestershire · England · City
Leicester makes a useful city-and-park break when the room policy suits your dog. Voco has a tightly defined small-dog limit, while Holiday Inn Leicester–Wigston is a suburban alternative with its own two-pet policy. Choose Abbey Park for a city outing and keep Bradgate as a separate countryside trip, with close control around its deer rather than an off-lead adventure.
Policies researched 27 September 2026 · Check directly before booking
A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly before you pay.
Voco’s standard dog rooms accept up to two dogs under 10kg and 50cm at the ear tips, for £15 per dog nightly. Holiday Inn Wigston lists two medium pets and a £20 nightly fee, whose basis needs confirming. Its location is Wigston Fields, and its parking information conflicts, so ask for the total parking cost too.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a short park circuit using the council’s visitor information. The river, lake and garden paths offer an outdoor alternative to an indoor sightseeing schedule.
Keep your dog close near water and other visitors. Follow signed lead and exclusion zones, including children’s play areas; park access does not establish access to Pets Corner or café interiors.
Official visitor information ↗Make a separate trip for a countryside walk if the weather and your dog’s temperament suit a deer park. Choose the distance from the current park information.
Use a lead near deer and follow all signed lead zones. Never allow chasing; staff may require dogs to be put on leads. Keep to suitable paths and clean up.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Arrive at the dog-compatible room and take a modest Abbey Park outing if there is time. Return to a meal space arranged in advance; voco’s designated lobby tables may simplify the evening. From Wigston, allow for the journey rather than treating the park as a hotel garden.
Visit Bradgate only if a deer-park walk suits your dog, keeping it close and avoiding any disturbance to wildlife. Otherwise enjoy another short city-park visit before heading home. The weekend does not need both long walks and a packed indoor itinerary.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Voco’s small-dog definition uses both weight and height, not breed labels alone.
Holiday Inn Wigston’s page advertises both free parking and a £7 charge; confirm the current arrangement.
Its published policy is for dogs under 10kg and 50cm at the ear tips, in standard rooms only.
No. It is a deer park with signed lead zones and strict control requirements; choose another outing if your dog cannot remain calm around wildlife.
