We love going on holiday, but we hate having to leave our four-legged friends behind when we do.
Next time, why not consider a staycation with your canine companion in tow?
Luckily, there's loads of pet-friendly options when it comes to accommodation, and we've rounded up the best ones to check out.
1. The Dylan Hotel, Eastmoreland Place, Dublin 4
Undoubtedly expensive, but you pay for what you get – The Dylan goes above and beyond for dogs and owners.
Providing treats, bedding and free dog swag of all varieties, you're both guaranteed an insanely glam experience at this five star hotel.
2. Brookville House, Dun Laoghaire
Hosts Liam and Dei will do everything in their power to make you and your furry friend feel welcome.
It's a basic enough B&B, but it's an ideal area for dogs and families, with easy access to transport links and, of course, that nearby coastline to enjoy.
3. The Uppercross House Hotel, Rathmines
This hotel boasts an award-winning pub in Mother O'Reilly's (their table quiz will challenge any anorak).
Not as much in the way of scenery here, but the staff are noted for going above and beyond for you and your pooch.
It's an ideal location if you're looking to explore the city widely.
4. The Hilton Hotel, Charlemont Place
Another hotel with an ideal location, The Hilton is right next to St. Stephen's Green – positively paw-fect (sorry) for a wander.

A Skort by Any Other Name On a humid afternoon this weekend at St Peregrine’s GAA Club Blanchardstown, west of Dublin, thirty camogie players took the field not in the sport’s traditional skorts, but in shorts. They weren’t in war paint or waving placards but they may as as well have been. The Kilkenny and […]

At the core of the problem is a pattern all too familiar in public transport systems: big-picture ambition undercut by everyday mismanagement.What happened in Dublin over the past six months […]

Remember 2007? Every Irish Leaving Cert oral exam was essentially a panic attack punctuated by shaky mentions of “cúlú eacnamaíochta.” Now, the discourse is back but 2025-ified. Instead of being pumped into us via well meaning language teachers, this time it is fuelled by TikTok sleuths dissecting every minor inconvenience as proof we’re already in […]
A survival guide for the tragically trendy now being bullied by signage. So. It’s sunny. You’ve got your tiny sunglasses on, your €17 graphic tee is cropped just enough to show the tattoo you got in a moment of heartbreak, and your Sambas have barely touched grass. You’ve done your civic duty and supported a […]
Waking up at 5AM is slightly more tolerable when there’s the Best Sunrise Views in Dublin and the opportunity to flex on main. There’s a specific kind of person who voluntarily wakes up at sunrise. They’re either spiritually awakened, deeply anxious, on a wellness bender, or just trying to feel something before the workday starts. […]
