Frequently asked questions

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Rochester cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Rochester from £59 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.
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 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 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 Rochester?

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.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Rochester?
