Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Nottinghamshire · England · City
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 access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements 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.
Milton Street · Nottingham
A Milton Street hotel in central Nottingham, useful if you want the city to be the main part of your break.
The dog detailsPets accepted up to 30kg; £35 non-refundable fee, charging period and per-pet basis to confirm. Ask about numbers, room allocation, meals and supervision.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
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.
Nottingham City Council says dogs are welcome under control at the Arboretum. Keeping your dog on a lead is a sensible way to share the paths; follow any current signs and protect wildlife. Check opening times.
Official visitor informationPlan 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.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
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.
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
Hilton is central; the Orchard is on the university campus at Beeston. Plan transport accordingly.
Hilton’s £35 summary does not explain its charging period; the Orchard’s published fee is nightly per pet.
No. The Orchard Hotel explicitly excludes pets from its Signature Suite; it charges £30 per pet per night. The hotel is about three miles from Nottingham city centre, so arrange transport as well as the eligible room.

Hilton lists pets up to 30kg and a £35 non-refundable fee. Its public policy summary does not clearly state the charging period or whether this is per dog, so ask the hotel for the total and room arrangement before booking.

The park asks visitors to keep dogs on leads and at least 50 metres from deer. It advises considering another walk during calving (May-July) and rutting (September-November); check notices and keep a suitable alternative in mind.

Yes. Nottingham City Council says dogs are welcome under control at the Arboretum. Its visitor page describes surfaced paths through most of the park and a heritage trail; follow on-site signs and choose a short section if that suits your dog.
No single rule should be assumed across the city. Nottingham City Council says some public areas are covered by Public Spaces Protection Orders that can require leads, exclusions, fouling clean-up or limits on dogs. Check its current map and the signs at the specific park you plan to visit.
