You will be made aware of this before you book and any payment is taken.

PETS

The Budock Vean Hotel is dog friendly, and we love having your four-legged friends to stay. We welcome well-behaved dogs in a selection of our rooms and ask you inform the hotel directly at booking to ensure we can accommodate you and your pouches over your stay dates. We have a few house rules to help you with your stay.

Dogs are charged at £20 per dog per night for the hotel and £70 per short stay or week for Holiday Home and Cottages per dog. If you arrive with a dog that you have not made us aware of prior to check in you will be charged a £80 cleaning charge on top of the £20 per night dog charge. Management has the right to refuse entry to dogs that we are not aware of prior to arrival.

  1. We permit a maximum of 2 dogs per hotel room, at £20 per dog per night, we will provide a comfy dog bed and a welcome gift.
  2. The Budock Vean Hotel is perfect for dogs, but we do ask that your dog is always kept on a lead in our public areas.
  • Dining with your dog is available in the lounge area, when making reservations with our team please advise if you require a table in this area.
  1. Please don't allow your dogs on the furniture, including beds.
  2. All of our hotel rooms are dog-friendly with the exception of the Signature Rooms. Please check with our reservations team or reception for details.
  3. Guests are liable for any damage caused by their dog.

  2. If your dog is alone in the room please pop the door sign on so our team know prior to entering for room servicing.

The Equality Act 2010 requires that disabled people have the same rights to services such as accommodation, restaurants, and bars. Also we recognise that reasonable adjustments will be made in order to avoid discrimination against disabled people.
These reasonable adjustments will include and range from creating wheelchair access routes to modifying a “no dogs policy” so that a disabled person may be accompanied by their service or assistance dog.
We also understand that not all service or assistance dogs will carry charity registration papers by Assistance Dogs Uk (ADUK) as they may be self-trained.
In order to protect our guests and staff from dogs that are not trained to the required standards under the law, we will expect that the assistance dog will, as stated by The Equality and Human Rights Commission:
• Be highly trained.
• Will not wander freely around the premises.
• Will sit or lie quietly on the floor next to its owner.
• Are trained to go to the toilet on command and so are unlikely to foul in a public place.
• Be recognisable by the harness or identifying dog jacket, although not in all cases.

We recognise that all disabilities are not visible. While we recognise the positive impact an emotional support animal (ESA) has on its owner, however we also have a duty of care to our guests and staff.
As ESAs are not always trained to the required safety standards of an assistance/ service dog, we are afraid we do not allow them into our restaurants and will be limited to our “Pet Friendly” accommodation.

V.A.T.

VAT is included in all prices.

DELIVERIES

We will accept deliveries of parcels on behalf of our guests if given prior notice however we will not be held liable for the safety of the parcel.
