Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Cambourne / the Other UK and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £25 per pet (max 2 pets) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 2,645 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
The Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa sits in a leafy out-of-town setting at Great Cambourne, about seven miles west of Cambridge city centre, and is a practical pick for travelling dog owners who want a four-star hotel with on-site walks rather than a city-centre base. The grounds wrap around a small lake with cycling and walking paths leaving directly from the car park, which makes pre-breakfast and pre-bed loops easy.
Dogs are welcomed for £25 per dog, per stay, with a maximum of two dogs per room. Registered service dogs are accepted free of charge. The booking sits a step outside the standard online flow: dog reservations have to be made by phone via the brand's Contact Centre on 0330 107 1599 rather than through the website, so factor that into the timing of your stay. Cats and other pets aren't accepted; this hotel is set up for dogs only.
Dogs are welcome in guest rooms and around the grounds, but not in the bar or restaurant areas. The hotel's main dining room is therefore out of bounds with a dog in tow; in-room dining is the standard workaround for guests who don't want to leave the dog alone at mealtimes. The on-site spa, indoor pool and gym remain dog-free zones as well.
Guests travelling with dogs report friendly and accommodating staff, with nothing being too much trouble at reception or room service. The lakeside grounds, cycling routes and adjacent public paths give plenty of options for short walks without needing to load the car. The hotel is geared towards short business stays, weddings and spa breaks, so weekend evenings can be busy in the public areas.
Best suited to dog owners who want a comfortable four-star hotel with on-site walking, a quiet rural setting, and don't mind taking meals in the room. Less suited to those wanting a city-centre Cambridge base on foot, or who'd like to dine alongside their dog in the restaurant.
