Nottingham
with your dog.

Nottingham gives you a city base with two very different park outings. The Arboretum is the compact choice for a short break; Wollaton offers a larger landscape but needs particular care around its deer. Hilton puts you on Milton Street in the centre, while the Orchard sits on the university campus at Beeston. Choose the setting first, then arrange the exact dog room and a meal plan.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK

Dog-friendly places to stay in Nottingham

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

Hilton lists a 30kg pet limit and a £35 non-refundable fee whose charging period needs confirming. The Orchard charges £30 per pet per night and excludes its Signature Suite. The campus location gives a different arrival and city-trip plan from Hilton’s central address.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Things to do around Nottingham

01

Nottingham Arboretum

Use the council’s tree or heritage trail to make a short park outing near the centre. You can choose a few points rather than follow every stop.

Dogs are welcome under control. Keep yours on a lead, follow local signs and protect wildlife; check opening times.

Official visitor information ↗
02

Wollaton Park

Plan a separate visit to the deer park if conditions suit your dog. The landscape is the outing; pet access inside the hall is not included in this plan.

Keep dogs on leads and at least 50 metres from deer. The park advises considering other walks during May–July calving and September–November rutting.

AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS

A short break that leaves room to pause

Day one · settle into your chosen base

Arrive at the reserved dog room and take a modest Arboretum outing if time allows. From the Orchard, include the separate journey into the city. Arrange dinner around the hotel’s confirmed dog rules rather than assuming every restaurant welcomes pets.

Day two · choose the right park

Make Wollaton the main outing only if the deer situation, season and your dog’s behaviour make it appropriate. Keep a wide distance from wildlife and use a lead. Otherwise enjoy more of the Arboretum and finish with an easy departure.

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

Different hotel settings

Hilton is central; the Orchard is on the university campus at Beeston. Plan transport accordingly.

Get the full dog-room quote

Hilton’s £35 summary does not explain its charging period; the Orchard’s published fee is nightly per pet.

Your Nottingham questions

Can dogs stay in the Orchard’s Signature Suite?

No. The current operator policy excludes that suite; request another eligible room.

Is Wollaton an off-lead dog walk?

The park asks for dogs on leads and substantial distance from deer. Choose another park if wildlife would be difficult for your dog.
