Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Stretton / the Other UK and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong — Agoda guests rate this 8.5/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published — confirm directly with the property before 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: 7 pet-mention guest reviews 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 307 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.5/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: May 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 policy at a glance
- Dogs are specifically listed as allowed (not all pet-friendly hotels include cats — check directly if travelling with a non-canine pet).
- A pet fee may apply — Agoda flags this property as charging extra for pets. Multiple guests note this was £25 per dog, per night (not per stay), and that it was not disclosed at the time of booking. Confirm before arrival.
Pet-friendly summary
Paw rating: 4.5 out of 5, based on 7 reviews from guests who stayed with a dog at The Park Royal Hotel & Spa in 2025-2026. The hotel earns a high paw rating through a consistently positive dog welcome and well-appointed facilities — but multiple reviewers flag the £25-per-night dog fee as the highest in the category and as something they were not warned about at booking. Worth confirming before you arrive.
Guests travelling with dogs consistently describe the hotel as a comfortable, dog-friendly stay with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a welcoming attitude from staff. Several mention bringing a small dog who was made to feel at home, with use of the on-site leisure centre as a bonus. The property's location — set in pleasant grounds within easy reach of the M56, M6, and M62 — makes it a practical staging post for travellers passing through Cheshire, and a recurring positive across the reviews.
The recurring caveat is the dog fee. £25 per dog, per night (not per stay) appears in multiple reviews as the single biggest negative. Several reviewers explicitly note that the charge was not disclosed at the time of booking and only flagged at check-in — a pattern that turns what would otherwise be a confidently 4.5-paw hotel into a "great if you know what you're paying for" experience. Confirm the current fee directly with the hotel before you arrive. Reviewers also note some restrictions on where dogs are allowed within the public areas, though the bar and breakfast areas remain accessible.
Best suited to: travellers passing through Cheshire on an M6 / M56 itinerary who want a comfortable 4-star stay with their dog and are happy to factor £25/night into the room cost. Worth checking the fee in writing if budget is the deciding factor — the hotel is otherwise strong on the things that matter for a dog-friendly stay.
