Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Northamptonshire · England · Town
Northampton suits a straightforward town-and-park break, with Abington Park as the main outdoor outing and a short look around the historic centre. Both listed hotels need a journey into the centre: Holiday Inn is on Bedford Road and Hilton is at Collingtree. Choose around your dog’s room needs and your meal plan, especially because Hilton excludes dogs from its indoor food outlets.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
A dog-friendly hotel may only allow dogs in certain rooms. Arrange the right room directly before you pay.
Holiday Inn offers designated dog rooms at £15 per dog per night. Hilton permits up to two pets with a 30kg maximum, excludes Superior rooms and Suites, and lists a £35 non-refundable fee with its charging basis to confirm. These are different arrangements, so request a total and a workable meal plan before paying.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a short circuit of this established town park, with paths and lakes providing a manageable main outing. The museum is a separate attraction, not part of the promised dog access.
Keep your dog controlled near water and other visitors; follow signs and stay out of enclosed play and restricted sports areas.
Official visitor information ↗Make a modest street-level visit around the centre rather than an indoor attraction itinerary. Allow time for the journey from either hotel.
Dogs must be on leads in Northampton Town Centre. Follow other signed restrictions and keep entrances and busy pavements clear.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Check into the reserved dog room, then make a short trip into the centre if your dog is ready for another outing. Keep to public streets on a lead and arrange dinner before the evening. At Hilton, the indoor food-outlet exclusion makes that advance plan particularly useful.
Visit Abington Park and choose a path circuit that suits your dog, allowing for pauses near the lakes without approaching wildlife. If you prefer a shorter break, this can be the only main outing before departure rather than adding more town sightseeing.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Its pet policy excludes dogs from indoor food outlets. Ask for a workable alternative before booking.
The council requires leads in Northampton Town Centre; follow its current mapped rules and local signs.
