Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Glasgow / the Scotland 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: £20 per pet per night - 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 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 1,189 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 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 Normandy sits on Inchinnan Road in Renfrew, a couple of minutes from Glasgow Airport and around twenty minutes' drive from the centre of Glasgow. That location is the whole point of the place: it is the hotel people book the night before an early flight or the night they land, and it does that job well. It is an older building, extensively refurbished in parts, with a restaurant, a large foyer and rooms that some guests enjoy for the view of aircraft on approach.
Dogs are accepted on request rather than as a standing arrangement, which means booking with the dog declared rather than turning up with one. The charge is £20 per pet per night, and it is dogs only. The hotel does not publish a pet policy on its own website, so confirming the room and the fee directly at the time of booking is not belt and braces here, it is the only way to be certain.
Guests who have brought a dog describe a straightforward, friendly welcome from staff who make no fuss about it. Set against that, the honest note is condition: comments about tired decor, worn carpets, dated furniture and an exterior in need of redecoration come up repeatedly in guest feedback. Few people seem to mind much given what the hotel is for, but a dog owner expecting a smart modern room should book with the right expectations.
For walking, Renfrew town centre and its green space are within reach on foot and the streets around the hotel are quiet enough for a late circuit, which is not always true of an airport hotel. Best suited to dog owners with a flight to catch who want somewhere calm and genuinely dog-tolerant a short hop from the terminal, rather than anyone looking for a base to see Glasgow itself.
