Zoe Morris, October 2024

Brilliant service, my dogs absolutely loved it here and they were treated as guests and not just tolerated. Was amazing to have my whole family on holiday


Karen Mitchell, October 2024

Amazing. Lovely stay. Will certainly be back.


Katie Brown, October 2024

Personal touch, lovely family run hotel


Karen Fox, October 2024

My stay at The Ashleigh hotel was so stress free as the owner, Lucy, genuinely loves dogs and my dog settled in straight away. He loved the garden and the freebies that were so thoughtful put together.


YVONNE MASON, October 2024

We found the Ashliegh the best dog friendly place we have ever visited, the owner was really friendly and the dogs are really well looked after.


Danielle Kirk, October 2024

The Ashleigh really put their heart and soul into making the experience as dog friendly as possible.


Hayley Bisp, October 2024

Had a lovely stay, Lucy goes over & above making both you and your dogs feel welcome, room was lovely and bed was so comfy, we all had a great night sleep


Chloe Turner, October 2024

Lucy is not only a lovely person but it is very evident she has the experience of the guests (both human and canine) at the heart of her motives. She has thought of everything to make it a comfortable stay ahead of arriving but also ensures you remain comfortable and very well looked after during your stay.

The personalised gifts for the dog really are the cherry on top and such amazing and good quality gifts even though the rate for the room is also very reasonable.

I'll definitely be looking to stay again and will be recommending it to all my pals with pooches!


Deborah Smit, October 2024

They are the most dog welcoming place we have stayed at - everything was geared towards our dog’s comfort and well being. So much thought has gone into every part of the hotel - even the garden.


Susan Austin-Burr, October 2024

From first contact Lucy couldn't be more helpful, professional and welcoming. The Ashleigh is a genuinely dog friendly place and anyone holidaying with their dog would make an excellent decision to stay there. Super accommodation for people and their dogs.


James mason, October 2024

Exceptional service, everything was so perfect - best stay we have had in a long time - can't thank them enough.

Maria Mccarthy, September 2024

The welcome received for both dog and owners was superb, the hotel couldn’t be any more dog friendly from personalised dog bowls, treats, play ball to take home and dressing gown, dog blanket and dog towel in the room. Also had doggy rain coats, thankfully we didn’t need them but WOW. Good luck Ashleigh they deserve to win 🏆


Marion Nash, September 2024

Excellent, considerate customer service. Bowled over by the welcome and facilities. Fantastic dog BnB!


Pete Nash, September 2024

Lucy was very accommodating and provided a great stay for us and our dogs.


Deborah Smit, September 2024

Heaven for our dog, which means we also had a fabulous stay. So much thought has obviously gone into creating a dog friendly environment - from personalized dog bowls, to dog towels, even doggie raincoats in a variety of sizes. Plus a guidebook full of dog walks, dog friendly eateries, etc. Lucy is the ultimate host.


michele coles, September 2024

The Ashleigh. Welcomed with a smile. Higson was treated like a VID , from rain coats at the door to his own dressing gown in the right size in the wardrobe. The perfect doggy pack included a personalised travel bowl a toy , some poo bags and treats. There was a doggy towel for the beach, a blanket for the bed that he particularly liked and he also had his own entrance to the garden. The room was clean and pet hair free. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was perfect and cooked freshly and there was even a doggy menu he was allowed to join us for breakfast. As Higson is partial to a sausage we ordered him one. The most dog friendly hotel where our pup was definitely the most important guest.


Corinnia Burke, September 2024

An absolute dream for dogs and their owners! From the warm welcome, fantastic facilities and home from home comforts, this amazing establishment packs so much into the rooms for all guests. The attention to detail is just superb…I e never stayed anywhere with such love and generosity for our four-legged friends.

It’s also excellent for the pooches owners too! Centrally located, thorough research has been done to answer any queries and even ones you had t thought of yet!

So much thought went into making our first stay of at the Ashleigh a wonderful experience. our room was a great size, had absolutely everything in there from kettle, coffee machine, full size fridge, ironing board and much more! I will definitely come back to stay with our Jack and highly recommend the Ashleigh to all my friends, family and who is looking for somewhere to go and be able to take their dogs with them. Also recommend having the full English breakfast as well freshly cooked delicious 😋

Fab that it has a secure garden you can use and have your dog off lead. Lucy is very friendly and helpful. You have personalised dog gifts in your room. The Ashleigh is brilliantly located near the beach. We will definitely go back to stay! Couldn't think of anywhere else that deserves to win as much as The Ashleigh. Lucy works incredibly hard.

The owner goes above and beyond for her guests and dogs. I loved my stay and the welcome pack I received for my dog. Such a kind and generous thing to provide.


Emma Merrison, October 2023

Very friendly staff- like home from home with all the creature comforts. Goodies left out for owners and dog- brilliant!! Will come back!!


Nicola Day, October 2023

Because it’s a great place for both humans and dogs!


Chris Abbott, October 2023

Just a great place to stay.


cheryl austin, October 2023

Good location , clean , friendly , dogs allowed.


Dave Slayter, October 2023

Stopped at this hotel a few times. Very friendly owner, lovely breakfast and extremely welcoming for dogs. Worth a stay!


Stephen Jay, October 2023

Well, as soon as you walked through the door, the welcome was more than I've received in a very long time. Our cocker spaniel Lokshen was immediately made part of the family and introduced to Jet. Jet was a true gentledog, unlike Lokshen who chose to be vocal!! However, Lokshen was given doggy treats and lots of gifts including a collapsible dog bowl. If this wonderful guest house does not receive this prestigious award, then there is no justice!! Lucy is an amazing host, she treated us with the utmost care. She allows dogs on the beds by providing a special doggy blanket to protect the bedding. Lokshen took advantage of this.


Felicity Brooks, October 2023

Reason being it really is the best dog friendly hotel.

So welcoming to dogs and their owners, the treat packs are amazing.

Even though very dog friendly The Ashleigh is absolutely spotless and each room is deep cleaned after each use.

I can’t wait for us to go back.


Iain Manning, October 2023

This hotel is a warm and inviting place to stay, dog or no dog. Then owner is very approachable and and service is impeccable.

Perfect place to stay with your dog, very welcoming and direct access from the bedroom to the lovely safe enclosed garden. Thanks for the welcome pack for us and our pooch! Super breakfast too


Sue Ross, October 2023

This is a wonderful hotel that really cares about your lovely dog - as well as their owners! We booked the Garden Room so our 18 year old pup could stretch his paws whenever he wanted. The room was full of amazing treats, toys, bowl and poo bags for our lad. We all felt so welcome and will stay here every time we visit Bournemouth.


Louise Brooks, October 2023

They’ve thought of everything for our dog, treats, blanket, dog bowl etc. also recommendations on dog friendly places to eat, areas for breakfast.


David Jones, October 2023

Amazing service, couldn't have been more accommodating. One happy sausage dog and 2 happy owners


Sue Woolnough, October 2023

Lucy runs the place on her own. She is a small business and she does a brilliant job. I've never been anywhere so dog friendly (even more dog friendly than the fantastic boot and bike). She should win the top spot m


Charlotte Cherry, October 2023

Amazing to find a place so dog friendly, free water bowl, toy, treats and poo bags to take home. We had the garden room which includes access to their lovely enclosed garden.


[email protected] Lucas, October 2023

Colin THOMPSON, October 2023

Great place always ready to welcome Brum and us of course


Lynette Thompson, October 2023

Super friendly dog welcoming hotel.


Rosheen Gaughan, September 2023

Simply the best dog friendly hotel I’ve ever been to!! It has a really family feel to it! Lucy was so attentive and made our stay feel like a home from home. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she even puts together a little care package for our fur baby’s! Great location, 5 minuet drive / 20 min walk to the beach! We will certainly be back again! Highly recommended!! I will be very shocked if The Ashleigh doesn’t win dog friendly hotel of the year cause it really does deserve to!!

Thank you for our stay Lucy!! See you and gorgeous Jet next time!

Best wishes and paw kisses from,

Roisin, Josh & Luna 🐾

Debbie Cambrey, August 2023

We have stayed at The Ashleigh on a number of occasions now, when visiting our daughter at Uni. The welcome has always been warm, the rooms are very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The room rates are always very competitive for the area, especially considering the B&Bs proximity to the main shopping and restaurant area. We will definitely be returning soon.


Roger Glasel, August 2023

Theres a lot of competion today who still fail to make reference on the booking confirmation that this is covered. Small matters that make a big difference with the owner of this hotel a dog owner herself.


Emma Merrison, August 2023

Couldn’t be more accommodating!! Everything needed for human and dog - and the personal use of the garden was fantastic Super friendly staff and comfy cosy room too. Will definitely head back :)


Fran House, August 2023

I am voting for the Ashleigh because from the moment I stepped in with our two beautiful dogs it was so homely and the dogs settled so well. The room was lovely and the owner was really lovely!

Definitely will be staying again!

TRACEY, October 2021

Loved the gift box and towels for the dogs, just so nice that they got spoiled too. Extremely comfortable and deluxe room was perfect for us and our two flatcoats.

Clean, beautiful decorated through out, and I was blown away by not only the fact they allow your four legged friend to accompany me. They also cater for them also, in our room we received a beautiful presented treat box full of treats & goodies for my dog buster!

(He absolutely loved it)

We will definitely be staying again!

A big Thank you to Both Lucy & her beautiful boy Jet. X


Andzelika Godek, August 2021

The Ashleigh is the place where dogs can’t be more warmly welcome. My Puppsy felt like at home within minutes! The whole atmosphere is dog friendly and focused on making sure our four legged friends (and their owners) have a lovely holiday!


Jasper Lee, August 2021

We visited recently and were impressed by the (shared) enclosed garden, ability for dogs to dine with you at breakfast (unlike some other dog friendly hotels), as well as the very cool welcome package for dogs. Also the thoughtful little things like the mat to put his water bowl (provided in the pack!) down so it doesn’t spill everywhere. Also (and this may be also be because of covid) the spaced distanced in the breakfast room so dogs don’t get hyped up when put too close to the next tables. Also the owner is very friendly, our dog was obsessed with her.
