How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 6 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - 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 669 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 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
No38 The Park is a genuinely dog-friendly boutique hotel in Cheltenham that treats dogs as proper guests rather than an afterthought. This elegant townhouse hotel and restaurant on Evesham Road looks straight out over Pittville Park, which makes it an easy choice for owners who want somewhere smart to stay with a green space on the doorstep.
Up to two dogs can stay in the dog-friendly bedrooms for £25 each per night, and they are welcomed with a doggy hamper of treats, a bed or blanket and a bowl. There is a fenced garden behind the hotel on Wellington Square for off-lead pottering, and Pittville Park and Lake are directly opposite for longer walks. For bigger days out, the Cotswolds countryside, Haresfield Beacon and Westonbirt Arboretum are all within easy reach.
Owners consistently describe a warm, attentive welcome for their dogs, alongside quiet, beautifully finished rooms and a well-regarded restaurant and breakfast. The combination of a calm setting opposite the park and genuinely dog-aware staff means dogs tend to settle quickly.
A few things to note: dogs must not be left unsupervised in the rooms, should stay off the beds and soft furnishings, and the per-dog nightly fee adds up on longer stays. For owners after a refined Cheltenham base where their dog is genuinely part of the trip, No38 The Park earns a strong 4.6/5 paw rating.
