Warm welcome for dogs at The Grapes
A new survey out this week shows that London hotels are fairly catty about accepting pets.
The result is in stark contrast to the reality at The Grapes Hotel in the picturesque village of Maentwrog, in the Vale of Ffestiniog.
“The welcome mat is well and truly out for dog lovers at The Grapes,” general manager Andrew Roberts Evans said.
Mr Evans was responding to a poll by travel company Expedia.co.uk.
It showed only 10% of hotels in the UK capital were happy to play host to animals.
“This is an area of Wales where people love to get out and sample the fresh Welsh air,” said Mr Evans.
“And very often people like to bring their pet dogs with them.
“With that in mind, we have two designated rooms where people are allowed to stay with their dogs.
“Designating the rooms in such a way also allows us to make sure guests who may suffer from pet allergies are not inconvenienced in any way.”
The Grapes Hotel in the picturesque village of Maentwrog, in the Vale of Ffestiniog, is a four-star Visit Wales destination.
It is also featured in two prestigious guide books - the Good Beer Guide for 2010 and the Good Pub Guide 2010.
