The Salty Dog Hotel & Bistro has been pet friendly since opening back in February 2012. This was not a deliberate decision, but accidental … the owners came from working in hotels across the water that had been pet friendly and thought nothing of it … It came as a bit of a surprise to find themselves trend setters in Northern Ireland by allowing dogs to eat with their owners in the lounge area of the hotel.
At The Salty Dog we know how important it is to have your pets on holiday, they are part of the family after all. Bangor is a great place for you to explore the Ards Peninsula, Strangford Lough and the rest of County Down. There is the famous Coastal Path and an abundance of beaches as well as forests, hills, trails and pathways to explore and without travelling too far. With so many sights, smells and sounds your four-legged friend may not want to leave!
We welcome any dog, regardless of size, weight or breed, as long as they are cute, adorable and well-behaved and they can stay in any of our rooms.
We allow a maximum of 2 large/medium sized dogs or three small dogs per room. There is a one off charge of £15.00 for one dog, £20.00 for two dogs or £25.00 for three. £5 of each of these charges will go to our local animal shelter, Assisi, to help doggos who aren’t fortunate enough to have owners that take them away.
When staying overnight at the hotel with your dog(s) we ask that you bring their bedding, crates, bowls, toys etc. to make them feel extra comfortable in what can be a strange environment for them.
All dogs which visit The Salty Dog receive complimentary treats & water, and those who book in to stay with us receive a Doggie Box of goodies and a sausage for breakfast (for those allowed).
