Which area of Oxford is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
For pet-friendly hotels in Oxford, the best area to stay is around the city centre, particularly near areas with green spaces like Christ Church Meadow or the Oxford Canal.

The area around St. Giles' and Woodstock Road, just north of the very central Carfax Tower, offers a good balance. It's close enough to the main attractions yet provides easier access to walking routes along the canal and nearby parks, which are great for pets. You'll find a selection of hotels here that often cater to guests with pets, providing amenities like dog beds or water bowls.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Oxford?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Oxford?
The best pet-friendly activities in Oxford involve exploring its many green spaces and riverside walks.

For a relaxing stroll with your dog, Christ Church Meadow is an excellent choice. This large, open meadow offers expansive lawns and paved paths, great for a lead walk. You'll find it behind Christ Church college, easily accessible from St Aldate's, and it provides lovely views of the college buildings and the River Cherwell. It's particularly good for couples who enjoy a peaceful walk together.

Port Meadow is another fantastic option, offering a much wilder, more open landscape. This ancient common land is one of the largest in Oxford, stretching for miles along the River Thames (locally known as the Isis). Dogs can roam freely in many areas, and you'll often see horses and cattle grazing. It's ideal for those who want a longer, more adventurous walk, perhaps culminating with a stop at a riverside pub.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Oxford?
When selecting a hotel in Oxford for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
