Frequently asked questions

Which area of Rochester is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Rochester for pet-friendly hotels is generally in and around the historic High Street and the areas immediately surrounding Rochester Castle and Cathedral.

This central area is the heart of Rochester, known for its historic architecture and pedestrian-friendly streets. You'll find many of the city's main attractions here, including Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle, which offer pleasant grounds for walks. The High Street itself is lined with independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, many of which have outdoor seating areas that welcome well-behaved dogs.

Couples travelling with a pet will find this area convenient. Staying in the centre means you're just a short walk from the riverside paths along the River Medway, superb for morning and evening strolls with your dog. Several hotels in this central district understand the needs of pet owners and often provide bowls or treats upon arrival.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter setting but still want easy access to the centre, areas just a little further out from the High Street, particularly towards the south-east, can also offer good pet-friendly options.
How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Rochester cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Rochester from £35 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Rochester?
The best areas to stay in Rochester are the city centre for convenience and access to historical sites, or the riverside areas for a more tranquil experience with good walking routes.

The city centre, particularly around the High Street and Esplanade, is ideal for couples. You'll be within easy walking distance of Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle, both of which have expansive grounds superb for a leisurely stroll with your dog. Many of the traditional pubs in this area welcome well-behaved dogs, offering a cosy spot to relax after a day of sightseeing.

For those travelling with a dog, the areas along the River Medway offer excellent walking opportunities. Look for accommodation near the Esplanade or the Strood side of the river. The riverside paths provide plenty of space for your dog to stretch its legs, and you can enjoy picturesque views of the castle and cathedral from across the water.
Can I cancel my pet-friendly hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right pet-friendly hotel in Rochester for you.
Do any Rochester hotels have restrictions on pet sizes or breeds?
First ensure you have picked a pet-friendly hotel by using the "Pet friendly" filter under the "Amenities" section in your search. If a hotel in Rochester has restrictions on pet sizes or breeds, you will find this information clearly in their property listing on Expedia. When you're on the property listing page, simply click on "Policies" to see what pet-specific policies the hotel implements.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Rochester?
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 it's pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a pet-friendly hotel in Rochester as a package?

Savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package. *Savings vary and are not available on all flight and hotel bookings.
